Daud Khan's cousin, Raja Sarkar Dewan Kuttul Khan, played a pivotal role in the region’s history by founding the Kamsar Jagir, a vast estate of 52 villages, and constructing a fort at Seorai during Akbar's reign. However, Kuttul Khan was killed in a conflict with Man Singh Rai of Reotipur. Daud Khan avenged his cousin’s death and succeeded him as Dewan of the Subah and Sarkar, consolidating his authority as the jagirdar of the pargana. He also expanded his ancestral lands, creating the Daudpur zamindari estate, with its administrative center (kot) at Dewaitha, where he built a small fort.

The estate flourished under successive generations, notably Yad Ali Khan, a sixth-generation descendant, who solidified its prominence despite the decline of Nawabs of Ghazipur, Fazl Ali Khan’s rule in Ghazipur, during who's time the Kamsar region was of great influence.
