History
The first known Wróblewski of Ślepowron coat of arms was Łukasz Wróblewski (born around 1620). He settled down in a village of Kołomyja in Pokucie together with his wife, Katarzyna (née Owadowska), during war with Cossacks. There is not too much info available about him, except that he had at least one son. His name was Piotr and he also had at least one son, which was named Sebastian.[2]
Sebastian Wróblewski was the heir of the Wróblewski family. He married Katarzyna (née Rajtarowska) with which he had three sons. They will later become founders of the three lines of the House of Wróblewski:
- Bazyli Wróblewski
- Józef Wróblewski
- Jan Wróblewski
