After the demise of Rao Raydhunji this regularity of succession was again deviated, Raydhunji

had three sons, Ravaji,Nagulji and Pragji.Ravaji the eldest son was murdered by Sodha rajputs,

his econd brother Nagulji had died of natural causes before, both the brothers,however had left

sons, who by right were entitled to succeed the throne of kutch, but as they were young, Pragji

eventually usurped the throne of Kutch and became Maharoa Pragmulji. Kayanji, the eldest

son of murdered Ravaji was given Morvi, from where he unsuccessfully tried many a times to

regain his rightful throne of Kutch. The descendants of Kanyoji Jadeja settled in Morvi and

were called Kanyani. Thus The State of Morvi was formed.

Jam Rawal was the founder of Nawanagar, his descendants branched out and formed the

state of Rajkot,and Dhrol,The descendants of Royal family of Rajkot formed Princely state of

Gondal. This Genealogy is still maintained today, by the Barots of respective Jadeja

Branches,and every single person in Jadeja clan can trace their ancestry through to Jam Rato

Raydhun.
