In 1799, the annual rental fees were raised to 540 Polish złoty. The taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages were abolished, because the county administration created an inn within the village. Moreover, the peasants did not have the privileged rights to sell alcoholic beverages or at least those not able to present themselves.
In 1820, there were 18 peasants with 2 fields that produce 4 bushels of winter corn “>and as many bushels of vegetables.

Jeżewo
Jeżewo, in German Jeszewo, also Jeschewo, a church village, parish and estate, in the county of Świecie, lies beyond Lake Stelchno. Near the forests by the village runs a railroad line to Bydgoszcz and Tczew. It consisted of two sections:
1) The village owned by the church, covered 2,792 morgen of land, with 12 buildings, 6 houses with 262 Catholics and 113 Evangelicals. The village had a parish church and school; the post office and railroad station were in Laskowice.
2) The estates and farms belonging to the village residents consisted of 12 buildings and 6 houses, with 58 Catholics and 8 Evangelicals. From olden times the village was the holding of the Bishops of Kujawa, who owned most of this area in Pomerania, By whom and when they were granted this privilege is unknown, but it may have been the nobles who lived in Pomerania. In 1293,Duke Mestwin II permitted Bishop Wisław to build a dam on the stream running between Jeżewo and Taszewo, and the construction of a water mill. In 1338 both these villages engaged in a dispute which involved the borders of the lakes Clidno, Plesno majus (major) and Plesno minus (minor). In 1412, Maciej Szkoda, an official in Jeżewo, appeared before Bishop Jan, complaining that a document establishing land rights was lost in the last war. The Bishop’s Chancery was unable to locate a copy of the above document. In a settlement he was awarded 4 fields. The village in itself covered a total of 41 fields. He was also appointed as a labor aid to the bishop. Farm owners paid a so called “Toruń Tax”, which was equivalent to about 7.90 marks. Maciej Szkoda paid a tax on the harvest from his fields. In addition to the Toruń tax, the farmers also paid a tithe of 2 bushels of oats and 2 chickens from each farm. During the days of the Reformation, the village farms and fields began to revert to private ownership.
In 1580, the documents concerning the visitation of the bishop, state that the owner of the village at that time was Maciej Niewiescinski, In later years, the village again became the property of the Bishops. In 1760, the inventory book of the bishop states that the village belonged to the deanery of Komórsk. The bishop’s manor house and estate consisted of 3 fields and 28 morgen of land. The forest was ruined, but the local pastor still had a small forest of pine. The village owned 5 lakes, called Krukwie, Strzemięntowo, Jeżewko, Plesno and Pleszewko. After the partitions, the Prussians grabbed the village and passed it on to private ownership. The schematics of the diocese show that the Jeźewo parish consisted of 2315 souls; the church was named in honor of The Holy Trinity. Nothing is known of its origins, or by whom it was funded. The present church was rebuilt in 1824, by the pastor Łakomecki and dedicated by him on the Sunday after the feast of St. Michael. The parish served the following villages: Jeźewo, Lipinki, Węzowiec, Piskarki, Lipna, Bełno, Bedlenko, Laskowice, Nowe Laskowice, Buczek, Krąglewice, Nowe Krąglewice, Taszewo, Taszewko, Taszewko pole, Ostrów, Lasy, Ciemnik, Węglarki, Plęsno, Grzyspa, Dubielno, Wilcze Błota, Biała, Białe Błota, Nowy Młyn, Leństwo, Długoleszcz, Pięcmórg, Wymysłowo, Jaszcze, Nowe Jaszcze, Kwiatki, Czersk, Łęgnowo, Buszyn, Krudonki taszewskie, Skrzynki.

Jodlowa
A small town situated at the foot of the Wiszowa Mountain (409 meters above sea level) on a stream which is a tributary on the right side of the Wisloka River. Its elevation is 256 meters above sea level, and it is located at 49 degrees 52′ N, 21 degreees 18′ E, in the powiat of Pilzno. The town consists of two settlements: Jodlowa Gorna and JodIowa DoIna, each of which has a one-class public school. There are 3,282 Roman Catholics and 280 Jewish inhabitants there. The town has a Roman Catholic parish, a post office, a communal loan society with capital of 2,891 zlotys, and a fund for the needy. The major estate (owned by F. Kollat) comprises 582 morgs of farmland, 58 of meadows and orchards, 37 of pastures, and 167 of forests. The minor estates comprise 3,937 morgs of land under cultivation, 311 of meadows and orchards, 316 of pastures, and 872 of forests. The people of Jodlowa engage in farming and trading. There is a market fair every other Tuesday, and in addition there are 24 annual fairs.
We have two founding charters referring to Jodlowa. The first, issued by King Kazimierz the Great in Krakow “on the Tuesday after the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, 1353,” grants “to Kunad the son of Alpodrik scultori [?]” 100 Franconian lans to establish a settlement under Magdeburg law, and grants him the wojtostwo and income from the yet-to-be-founded “JodIowa Gora” (see: Morawski, Sad. 1, 234). The second document, signed by the same king one day after the feast of St. Michael in 1359, allows two brothers, Jedrzej and Mikolaj, to found a village of Jodlowa under Magdeburg law in the forests of the district of Biecz, and to claim 80 Franconian lans up to the Wisloka River for this purpose.
The parish belonged to the Diocese of Krakow and was part of the property of the bishops of Krakow. The year of its founding is unknown. The present wooden church dates back to 1670. Apart from the church, there is a chapel at the cemetery where services are held. At present, the parish belongs to the Diocese of Przemysl and, with the village of Dembowa, has 3,800 Roman Catholics and 280 Jews. In 1770, the Jodlowa starostwo, in the province of Krakow, powiat of Biecz, consisted of the village of Jodlowa along with its wojtostwo and appurtenances. As of 1765 it belonged to the starosta of Wolbrom, Franciszek Dembifiski, and his wife Urszula nee Morsztyn. After it was seized by the Austrian government, on the basis of the cameral decree of 16 February 1815 and a written agreement dated 38 [sic] August 1815, it was given to Aleksander Debole for the villages of Kniazioluka, Oboziska, Nowosielica and the settlement of Debolow, which were annexed to the Dolina government-owned estate. [Mac.-Vol. Iff, pp. 594-595].
[Additional information in the supplemental volume 15]: Jodlowa, a town in Pilzno powiat. They say it was originally the property of the bishops of Krakow, then a ducal property, returned to the bishops in 1354 by King Kazimierz the Great, and then later became property of the crown. It was apparently the bishops who founded the parish there, and they had certainly erected the church by the 15th century. In 1581 there were two villages, Jodlowa niemiecka [German Jodlowa”] and Jodlowa polska [“Polish Jodlowa”]. Strzezowski paid taxes on them. Jodlowa niemiecka was leased by Jost Romer, and had 27 peasant lans, 2 homesteads with land, 22 without land, 12 peasants with cattle, 32 without, 14 craftsmen, and 1 lan belonging to the soltys. Jodlowa polska had 10 peasant tans, 9 homesteads without land, 16 peasants without cattle, and 6 craftsmen. Even then it evidently was a trading center. [Vol. 15b, p. 23.]
