The earliest records of the Konozas in Polkowo date back to records date back to an original grant of 5 Włoks (about 40 acres) in 1582 by the starost of Tajenski Marcin Dulski and and confirmed by Queen Anna’s privilege of 1585. Soon after the grant was given, i.e. on February 18, 1587, the same late well-born Marcin Dulski, Rajgrod starost carefully described the borders of the grounds granted to Marek Konoza and entered this description in Tykocin land records Individuae Trinitatis in 1626, the same was also entered in 1660 Inventory by the surveyors, who were designated by the power of 1659 constitution to perform inventories of crown lands.



On January   1710 Wawrzyniec  Konoza from Polkowo, Tomasz Orbik from Tajno, and other village leaders appeared in the court in Goniadz to appeal for reimbursement for grain and other items “requistionsed” by the Polish Army stationed in Tajno from  23 Jan  1710   till  26  June  1710. Shortly thereafter, the plague, being carried by the armies, killed most of the inhabitants of Tajno and surroundinding villages, including Tomasz Orbik and his family. Luckily the remote location of Polkowo in the marshlands spared it from much destruction. Archiwum Potockich z Radzyni in  AGAD,  call number 245: p. 241.
 

There was a marriage in 1722 in Barglowka, parish of Bargłów-Kościelny of Mathias Konoza and Anna Orbik - Record 67.

From 1778 to 1781, the honest Mateusz Konoza and his wife Marianna nee Kawalek, residents of Polkowo and descendants of Marek Konoza, the original holder of the 5 Włok, and the owner of the Tajno Estate Anna Rostkowska, widow of both Andrej Karwowski, former owner of Tajno Estate and Antoni Jan Rostkowski, General of the Crown Army fought in the courts and in the fields over the Polkowo's residents rights to their land..
