Most of the estates were small, often covering not even a single village, but parts of several villages shared with others. There were numerous bhayad's (land alienated to junior branches) of these petty chiefs, but the lands were not actually surveyed and divided; they simply occupied as much as land as they could cultivate. Without Un estates Primogeniture was not observed in any of the estates of Kankrej Thana; rather, gira's were divided up in equal shares among all sons.
