Michal Golebiowski Married at Least 4 Times?

So far, it looks like Jan Raszkiewicz and Apolonia Golabiowska (my 5 time great grandparents) were each only married once -- to each other. It looks like Apolonia’s brother Michal wasn’t quite so lucky and was married three, maybe four times. The translator that helped thought it might be four, maybe five times. On the 1812 marriage record for today, January 29, it states that Michal was a widower. His first wife Agnes died on December 3, about two months before. The first bann was announced January 19 and the second one was three days before the wedding. Because they were hurrying to marry, it is possible that he had young children that needed care. The bride was Miss Rozalia Gorbula, age 27. She presented an Act of Knowing from the Tomaszów Court of Peace stating her age and her parents weren’t present or mentioned so they may have been deceased. The witnesses were Wawrzyniec Turek ,36 , Jan Raszkiewicz ,40, Maciej Wujcik ,41, and Antoni Kulicki ,30-- for some reason four witnesses when there were usually two. When he married his fourth wife February 7, 1825, it referred to his third wife’s funeral record but it didn’t name her. As I work my way through the records, I may find out who she is. He was a 58 year old widower still working as a peasant farmer In Majdan Górny. The bride was 41 year old Marianna (Sawiak) Dzierowa. She also was widowed and her husband, a peasant farmer in Majdan Górny, had died 17 years before. Jan Raszkiewicz, 48 , Wasyli Sawiak ,50 , Paweł Gołąb, 34 and Wawrzeniec Turek ,48 , all peasant farmers living in Majdan Górny were the witnesses. Here is a list of his possible wives:: Wife 1: Agnes or Jagnieszka Wife 2: Rozalia Gorbula Wife 3: Unknown or was it Rozalia? Wife 4: Marianna (Sawiak) Dzierowa
