Clan and Banner Background
The Wujia clan is listed in volume 57 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with members associated with Ula, the Solon region, and other places. Hang'ai of the Bordered Yellow Banner lived at Ula and submitted early; his son Ente served as an imperial guard distinguished by a blue feather. Daqing'a of the Bordered Red Banner lived in the Solon region and has no known submission date; his son Tangli was a cavalry-company officer.
Family Service and Distinctions
Four further individuals—Maodai, Xiamudai, Shulun, and Emoketu—are recorded as returning from Khorchin in the Kangxi period. Maodai belonged to the Bordered White Banner and lived at Feidamu village; Xiamudai of the Bordered Red Banner came from Wujianfang, and his grandson Bazha'er served as a deputy cavalry-company officer when the genealogy was written. Shulun and Emoketu, also of the Bordered Red Banner, were associated with Jilin Ula.
Kinship, Succession, and Evidence
Return from Khorchin was a specific movement and administrative context, not a date that should be changed into an early submission to Nurhaci. An imperial blue-feather guard occupied a different service system from cavalry-company and deputy company officers. Ancestral place alone did not replace the genealogy's banner distinctions. Full kinship and transfer histories remain to be verified.
