, the husband of
Tatyana Petrovna Veshnyakova
,
sister of our great-great-grandmother
Maria Petrovna Ilyina
.
He came from an old family of Zheltukhins. The branch of the family to which
he belonged was included in the 6th part of the noble genealogy book of the
Kazan province.
He served in the Life Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment as a soldier, corporal,
fourier, ensign, sergeant, ensign on reports, second lieutenant, regimental
adjutant, captain-lieutenant, captain, colonel. He retired with the rank of
brigadier. In the Russian army, the rank of brigadier was introduced in 1698;
in status it was higher than a colonel and lower than a major general.

Tobolsk governorship, then the ruler of the Vyatka governorship. Full State
Councilor.
In 1796, according to the results of the audit of the Vyatka governorship by

rom the notes of F.F. Wigel (“Notes”, publishing house “Zakharov”, Moscow):
«
The trial continued, it delayed the verdict, but in the meantime it pressed the
accused and little by little squeezed everything that it had sucked out of him. The
formidable reign of Paul began, and Zheltukhin decided on a desperate remedy.
He showed up at the Prosecutor General's office with a huge sealed package in
his hands. In short words he depicted the humiliation he was in, the humiliation
he was suffering, and in front of everyone he asked to carefully examine the
papers contained in the package, which, he was confident, would serve to
completely justify him. The Chairman of the Court... rather absent-mindedly
ordered the secretary to take the package from his hands and take it to his
office. There, in private, he began to examine the documents and counted, they
say, up to a hundred thousand indisputable evidence in his favor; demanded the
case, reported to the emperor, and two days later Zheltukhin moved from being
a defendant in the Senate to being judging.»
When F. F. Zheltukhin’s actions were called correct by the decree of Paul I in
1798, he was awarded the rank of Privy Councilor and appointed senator to
the 1st Department of the Senate. However, in 1800 he was dismissed and
expelled from Sanct-Petersburg.
Zheltukhin owned 9,000 souls of serfs in the provinces of Kazan, Vyatka,
Penza, Saratov and other provinces, owned one of the first glass factories in
the Mari region (in the village of Voskresensky, Tsarevokokshay district,
Kazan province). In Kazan he had his own two-story house.
Portraits of his two sons — generals, heroes of 1812, Sergey and Petr, are in
the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, State Hermitage Museum.
