István and his brothers received nobility on 5 October 1885. His sister five years later.
István had several professions. He was a captain of a sea vessel known as a corvette. At one time he was a parliamentary representative.
He was president of Nógrád county's
Agricultural Society in 1906 and its casino, and had property in Patvarcz,
Csitár and Őrhalom within 10 Km.
from Balassagyarmat, Nógrád of modern Hungary. His residence
was at Gárdony-puszta which seems to have been renamed to Nógrádgárdony.
He built for himself a castle there in 1894.

In Nógrád county his
property holdings amounted to '4200 katasztrális hold' which in
today's reckoning is about 4200x1.412 acres = 5930 acres.
Additionally, he had property in Nyitra county of 1130 acres.
Around 1890, Csitár was a small Magyar ethnic community with 108 homes and 822 residents. The post office was at Hugyag which is no longer on the map above but can be seen on the 1910 map on the left which you can click on to enlarge. Telegraphic facilities and the train station were located at Őrhalom about 5 Km. from Csitár. István owned a large orchard of around 13 acres here with 900 fruit trees.
Őrhalom was also a small Magyar ethnic community with 178 homes and 1118 residents. Its previous names were Stras, Zthras and Trázs. In 1873 the whole region was devastated by cholera.
Patvarcz about 4 Km. from Balassagyarmat was also a Magyar ethnic community with 73 houses and 537 residents. István owned a large distillery here and he was involved in sheep, cattle and pork production.
