暇を与えられた者の息子を養子に願う事例
一、享保九年辰年、新番組の石沢仲右衛門が萩原小八郎を養子に願った。小八郎は、暇を与えられた木滑清左衛門の末子である旨の記録がある。
ただし、清左衛門が暇を与えられた際、小八郎は幼年のため他国へ行かず、二十五歳に至った時に親類が願い出て他国行きを許可された。そこで叔父の矢野右衛門作が願い出て、仲右衛門の養子とすることが許可された。
一、寛政三年亥年三月十一日、大御番の中村権太夫が、弟の雨森五郎八の実子（庄吉、先年雨森平八の養子となった者）を権太夫の甥として養子に願った。将来適当な機会があれば他家に養子として送りたいとの願いの通り許可された。その後、丹羽安右衛門方へ養子に送った事例がある。
ただし、雨森五郎八は暇を与えられ、兄の権太夫方で蟄居していた。
一、寛政十二年申年八月、箕輪文右衛門は先年追放を申し付けられたが、現在は国内居住を許可されている。この文右衛門の次男を実兄の荒川九郎次の養子とし、御徒目付の畑佐奥左衛門へ養子に送りたいとの願いの通り許可された。
一、天保元年寅年九月二十六日、新御番の平瀬五左衛門は二月中旬頃から鶴膝風という病気を患い、段々と重篤になり快復の見込みが立たない。実子の五三郎は当歳で虚弱のため、実甥の相沢庄三郎（当年十五歳）を病気中に養子とし、末娘と一緒に世話をしてもらいたい。庄三郎は相沢武兵衛の実子であったが、養子の庄左衛門が昨年出奔した際に願い出て私方へ引き取り養育していた旨。
一、正徳二年辰年二月九日、町奉行の海福伊兵衛が、先年暇を与えられた川越宇右衛門の息子大八を養子にしたいとの願いの通り許可された。宇右衛門は去冬城下居住を許され、伊兵衛とは従弟の関係で、他に一家の内で適当な者がいないため願い出た旨を書付と口上書で提出した。
一、同年四月二十五日、大御番の大町吉左衛門が、先年暇を与えられた竹内茂左衛門の息子金兵蔵（甥にあたる）を養子にしたいと願った。茂左衛門が暇を与えられた時から妻子共々吉左衛門方へ引き取り養育していた。ただし、暇を与えられた者の息子を養子とする事例があり、その上茂左衛門は去年の大赦で処罰を免除されたため、願書を取り上げて伺いを立てたところ、願いの通り許可された。

Cases of Requesting Adoption of Sons of Those Who Were Granted Leave
1. In the 9th year of Kyōhō (1724), Ishizawa Nakaemon of the Shinban group requested the adoption of Hagiwara Kohachirō. Kohachirō was the youngest son of Kinameri Seizaemon, who had been granted leave from service, as recorded.
However, when Seizaemon was granted leave, Kohachirō was too young to go to another domain, and when he reached twenty-five years of age, his relatives petitioned for permission for him to leave for another domain. Subsequently, his uncle Yano Uemonnosaku petitioned and the adoption by Nakaemon was approved.
1. On March 11th of the 3rd year of Kansei (1791), Nakamura Gondayū of the Ōgoban requested to adopt the biological son of his younger brother Amemori Gorōhachi (Shōkichi, who had previously become the adopted son of Amemori Heihachi) as Gondayū's nephew. The request to send him as an adopted son to another family when a suitable opportunity arose was approved as requested. Later, there was a case of sending him as an adopted son to the Niwa Aemon family.
However, Amemori Gorōhachi had been granted leave and was confined at his elder brother Gondayū's residence.
1. In the 8th month of the 12th year of Kansei (1800), Minowa Bunemon, who had been ordered into exile in previous years, was now permitted to reside in the domain. His second son was to be adopted by his biological elder brother Arakawa Kuroji and then sent as an adopted son to Hatasa Okuzaemon, a foot inspector (otsukaime-tsuke), which was approved as requested.
1. On September 26th of the 1st year of Tenpō (1830), Hirase Gozaemon of the Shin-goban had been suffering from crane's knee wind (a type of joint disease) since mid-February, gradually worsening with little hope of recovery. Since his biological son Gosaburō was sickly despite his young age, he wished to adopt his nephew Aizawa Shōzaburō (fifteen years old that year) during his illness to care for his youngest daughter. Shōzaburō was the biological son of Aizawa Takebē, but when the adopted son Shōzaemon absconded last year, he petitioned to take him in and raise him at his residence.
1. On February 9th of the 2nd year of Shōtoku (1712), Town Magistrate Kaifuku Ihē was granted permission as requested to adopt Daihachi, the son of Kawagoe Uemon, who had been granted leave from service in previous years. Uemon had been permitted to reside in the castle town last winter and was Ihē's cousin. Since there were no other suitable persons within the extended family, he submitted a written petition and verbal statement.
1. On April 25th of the same year, Ōmachi Kichizaemon of the Ōgoban requested to adopt Kinbēzō, the son of Takeuchi Mozaemon (his nephew), who had been granted leave from service in previous years. He had been taking in and raising Mozaemon's wife and children at his residence since Mozaemon was granted leave. However, since there were precedents for adopting sons of those granted leave, and furthermore, Mozaemon had been pardoned from punishment in last year's general amnesty, when the petition was submitted for consideration, it was approved as requested.
