Note: Jatra Narayan, the 19th ruler of the Jaintia dynasty, was the son of Ram Singh I and the nephew of the previous ruler, Chattra Simha. He assumed the throne after his father's death, which occurred while Ram Singh I was a captive of the Ahom kingdom. The Jaintia Kingdom came into contact with the British East India Company during Jatra Narayan's reign. The British were interested in the region's lime quarries, the primary source of supply for the Bengal delta region. However, interactions were not smooth, and the British began isolating the Jaintias through a system of forts and regulations.
