HISTORY OF SIKHIM AND ITS RULERS. 



Lino-them. The latter's son, Tshe-hPhel, resided at Yul-sHar-Phag. 

 Tse-phel had two sons, Ye-shes and rDo-rJe, who crossing the Tista 

 settled at Rin-tGron (Ringim). Dorje's son, Nor-Pu-tWang-hDus, had 

 again two sons, who are the ancestors of Kaja Tendook's and Tchehu 

 Lama's families. The following is their genealogical tree : —

It will thus be seen how little Lepcha blood there is in the two 

 chief families of the Adinpuso stock. It is stated that De-Chhen-kyab 

 •was one of those who hailed Penchoo Namgut^ Raja at Yoksom in 

 1641. 



It may be interesting to note that Doobgye (Tendook's father), 

 though Jongpen of Barmie, went to Nagri as captain in the Sikhimese 

 army, fought there against the Nepalese, and assisted Major Latter to 

 lay down the present boundary between Sikhim and Nepal. He had 

 two wives: by the elder, a daughter of the Pad-gLing Lama, he had 

 two sons, Dawa Sring and Yit tam Sring, now a Jongpen in Nepal ; 

 by the younger wife, who was the daughter of the hGu-ling Jongpen, 

 a Barphougpuso by family, he had three sons who lived to grow up, 

 viz., liBrug-brTan-hDsin, Bahadur, and Tendook Pulgor. Doobgye 

 had also two illearitimate sons, Kabden Tsiring and Rinchen Long-dol, 

 Jongpen of Pachim, both of whom have served as interpreters to 

 Government. 



There are, however, several Lepcha families still existing, parti- 

 cularly along the banks of the Talung river and its vicinity. Among
