Yesaji Kank originated from the village called Bhutonde, situated at far extreme foothold of Rajgad. Letters written by Shivaji Maharaj sent to his bhutonde address are found where it clearly indicate that he was from this little village. Known to the "Sardar Sarnobat"of a army of more than 1.35 million men (mavale). His bravery has been proved in front of all the four Kingdoms of India during 1600 BC. He fought a drunk elephant in front of Qutubshahi, Planned the journey of Shivaji Maharaj, to-fro of his visit to agra darbar, fought at fonda fort and lost his son Krushnaji Kank. These men are born just once in world and Shivaji Maharaj hand picked them. Their 12th decedents still live in the prachin wada in his village. Late Mr. Rambhau Kank was a known personality in Maharashtra for all is up doings and progress he has given to the region. Now the trend is still on, followed by Mr. Bhagwanrao Kank fondly known as Kaka Kank, Late Mr. Rambhau Kank's sons, Mr. Shashikant Rambhau Kank, Mr. Sanjay Rambhau Kank and Mr. Rajendra Rambhau Kank and Son of Mr. Bhagwan Rao Kank, Mr. Shivaji Bhagwanrao Kank. These names have been entered in history and you can surely taste the legacy in this royal family. It has been noticed that few miscreants with same surname have been trying to come up with stories saying Yesaji Kank was from some other village which no one knows and trying to take the legacy out of this family just for name and fame. But the truth remains the same that he was in existence from the village called Bhutonde and there are possibilities that he may have land in all around the village and Rajgad as it was given by Shivaji Maharaj for each bravery he did.
