Clan and Banner Background

The Manja clan appears in volume 50 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with historical homes in Kuca and Yehe. Suban of the Bordered Blue Banner came from Kuca and submitted early. He was an unattached bannerman when he joined campaigns in Shandong and became the second man to scale the walls at Pingyin County, earning yunqiwei. Imperial favour later raised the distinction to third-class qingche duwei. Successors included Yeqingge, Song'adai, and Xitu.

Family Service and Distinctions

After Xitu died, the award passed to his paternal uncle Yalantai. At that succession the part added by imperial favour was removed, leaving the rank yunqiwei; later successors included Shuangxi and Shulu. A further descendant, Fubao, was serving as a bithesi when the genealogy was compiled. “Unattached” describes Suban's lack of an appointed office, not a moral judgment.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Another Bordered Blue Banner line from Yehe was descended from Sahatai and produced niru officers and deputy cavalry-company personnel. Song'ai of Kuca served as a guard-company officer, his son Cunzhu as a defence officer, Tuli as a third-class household guard, and Aicha as a ceremonial official. These posts belonged to distinct military, palace, and document systems. The detailed genealogy and locations remain uncertain.
