 * Jan of Nagorzyce Nagorski (died after 1480) - apart from the estate in Nagorzyce, he also owned one knightly Ian in Jeżów, which was most likely given to him by the abbot of the Łysogóra Benedictines, and from which he paid a tithe to the abbey. His son Stanisław appears in 1463 in the company of people from the vicinity of Abbot Michael of Kleparz, incl. Jakub Witosławski and Dawid from Wawrzeńczyce, Master of Liberal Arts at the University of Krakow. In 1531 only a quarter of a Jan from the Nagórski part remained in Jeżów. As a result of family divisions, the remaining fields could be incorporated into the surrounding villages, especially in Nagorzyce or Roztylice. Jan of Nagorzyce Nagórski was mentioned by Jan Długosz in Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis and is the first recorded in Nagórski sources that can be associated with the Ostoje family. Nagórski was also mentioned in Count Seweryn's herbarium Uruski.

 * Salomea Nagórska (died after 1655) - heiress of the lands in Grabownica, daughter of Hieronim Nagórski and Jadwiga née Pełków. There is a romantic and at the same time tragic story related to her person, described by Władysław Łoziński. According to this description, Salomea was engaged to Stanisław Przedwojowski, a hussar companion. However, despite this, her brother-in-law, Jacek Krasowski, kidnapped her to marry Gabriel Boratyński. Just before the wedding, the beloved of Salomea Nagórska, Stanisław Przedwojowski, rescued the kidnapped woman from his banner with the help of several comrades. The Salomea and Stanisław Przedwojowski family soon enjoyed their happiness. In 1645, a neighbor, Stanisław Kozłowski, a cupbearer of Sanok, attacked their manor in Grabownica. As a result of this inn, Salomea's husband died at the hands of Kozłowski's henchmen. After a period of mourning, Salomea née Nagórskie 1v.

Then, his father, Hieronim Nagórski, made an oath to God that if they both returned alive from the war expedition, he would devote him to priestly service. The promise was fulfilled because Wojciech became a priest and on August 31, 1637, he took over the rectory of Grabownica. In 1640 his mother Jadwiga died. In her will, she bequeathed in favor of the church of St. Nicholas in Grabownica 8 cows, 5 morga of meadow and 10,000 florins for the maintenance of two priests, an organist and a cantor. However, the will was never fulfilled because Grabownica was taken over by Jacek Krasowski, husband of Father Nagórski's sister - Katarzyna. Wojciech Nagórski was the parish priest of Grabownica until 1661. He was immortalized in the painting of St. Nicholas, as one of the people who adore the saint (including in the company of his father, mother and sisters).
