Franga (Pandely) Agelasto^[1]

Abt 1800? - 1867

• Name	Franga (Pandely) Agelasto
  Birth	Abt 1800?
  Gender	Female
  Death	Feb 1867	Athens, Attica, Greece
  Burial	First Cemetery of Athens, Greece
  Notes	The parentage -- Michael (Pandia) Agelasto (1792-1853) and Arghyro (Dimitrios) Petrocochino (1801-1849), reported by Argenti, is wrong. Her name is sometimes transliterated as "Franca." She is buried next to her father. A graveside monument reads: "Here lies Franca M. Catinakis, born Agelastos who, born in Chios in 1800 and having lived in virtue and piety, died in Athens in February 1867. This stone was erected in her memory by her children." Her 1800 birth date, or her father’s, is obviously in error if her father was born in 1797.(George Agelasto) A Franga Agelasto is mentioned as an old woman living in Chios at the end of the 19th Century in George P. Georgiadis, The St. Ioannis Church of the Chiots in Galata, (Constantinople, 1898), as cited by George Zolotas, History of Chios (Athens, 1928), p 264. The sisters Franga and Marietta Agelasto were declared as the sole heiresses of their uncle Stephanos D. Agelastos in a hereditary title certificate issued by the Mayor of Athens. George Agelastos comments: Stephen D. died 22/23 February 1867. Franca Katinakis, whose grave is next to Stephen’s, died also (according to her tomb inscription) in February 1867. Did she die before or just 2-3 days after Stephen’s death? In either case it seems to me quite certain that the inheritance certificate was issued after Franca’s death, as it is improbable (not to say impossible, due to the necessary legal procedures) that this certificate could so soon be issued, just a couple of days after Stephen’s death. Such certificates were always based on the testimony of two witnesses, so my conclusion is that the family of Stephen’s brother Pandely concealed Franca’s death and just found two witnesses to make a false testimony to the authorities. At least the second heiress, Maria, seemed to be really alive by that time.
