The Uzun Seferoğulları
The entry lists four generations of a family from the ayan of Amasya: Uzun Sefer Ağa, his son Ahmed Ağa, his grandsons Ali and Ömer Ağa, and Mustafa Efendi among their children. Hüsameddin writes that the name "Uzun Seferoğulları" was used among the people for this family. Which place the phrase "Hakalalı" indicates cannot be understood from the entry. No trace of the family was found in other sources.
