Petőcz family grave

An old family of Bratislava County, not one of whose members, P. Péter received a noble letter from Maria Theresa in 1742. Among its members, it is worth mentioning P: György, who became the chief clerk of Bratislava County in 1843 and the second governor in 1848. In this position, he was also a member of the county defense committee. After the victory of the imperialists, Field Marshal Kempen on January 5, 1849, reprimanded P. György as a member of the permanent committee, who, playing with his head, dared to disapprove of the ordered military deployment. When he was in Csallóköz on one occasion, as the chairman of the food department, he was informed that the defenders were approaching triumphantly from the direction of Nyárasd and had already entered Lég and Elő-Patony (where his family lived). Hearing this, P. returned to Patony and, at the request of Colonel Kosztolányi, sent an official notice to the court-martial judge of the first-csallóköz district to order the conscription of the conscripts immediately. Only then did he return to Bratislava, where the Austrians immediately handed him over to the court-martial. Everyone felt sorry for him and many interceded for him, but P. answered the court-martial's questions so honestly that he could not be saved. He was sentenced to execution by rope, which Kempen changed to being shot. The sentence was carried out in the castle under the so-called crown tower. He died a man. (V. ö.
