Clan and Banner Background

The Jebai clan is recorded in volume 56 of the Qianlong-sponsored Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with Hanchuha given as its ancestral home. The principal entry concerns Bahaha of the Bordered Red Banner; his date of submission is unknown. Its account covers different generations of banner commanders, provincial officials, and documentary administrators and must not be read as one person's career.

Family Service and Distinctions

Bahaha's descendants Erchuke and Bahana served as banner-company commanders. The fourth-generation descendant Mahu served as governor of Jiangsu, whereas Sahata died campaigning in Shaanxi as an eighth-grade officer and was posthumously awarded yunqiwei. This hereditary distinction was inherited by Saertai and a later successor recorded as Youwei. A provincial governor was responsible for major regional administration; a niru commander supervised a banner company. These offices were institutionally different.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Fifth- and sixth-generation descendants Tuonai and Mashitun served as secretariat clerks; a seventh-generation descendant, Mukedene, was a bithesi at the time of compilation. Both categories participated in court document production, with bithesi particularly associated with Manchu and Chinese copying and translation. The appointments belong to their individual holders. The modern site of Hanchuha, the original characters for Youwei's name, and the precise genealogical links remain to be verified.
