Amasya Beylerbeyi Emîr Seyfeddîn Torumtay evlâdından el-Hâc Yûsuf Bey bin Dursun Bey’in mahdûmudur. Pederinin vefâtında Torumtay vakfına mütevellî olup Amasya a’yânından oldu.
Elli yıl kadar tevliyeti devam edib 1056 hudûdunda vefât etdi. Mahdûmu Dursun Bey ve kızları da Fâtıma, Ayşe hanımlardır. Fâtıma Hanımın zevci Mîr-livâ Abdurrahman Beyzâde Mustafa Bey ve Ayşe Hânımın zevci de eş-Şeyh Mustafa Efendi’dir. Dursun Bey’in [505] vefâtında tevliyet bunların evlâdına intikâl etdi.
He was a descendant of Emîr Seyfeddîn Torumtay, Beylerbeyi of Amasya, and the son of el-Hâc Yûsuf Bey son of Dursun Bey. On his father's death he became trustee of the Torumtay waqf and one of the notables of Amasya.
His trusteeship lasted about fifty years, and he died around 1056 [1646]. His son is Dursun Bey, and his daughters are Fâtıma Hanım and Ayşe Hanım. Fâtıma Hanım's husband was Mirliva Abdurrahman Beyzâde Mustafa Bey, and Ayşe Hanım's husband was Sheikh Mustafa Efendi. On Dursun Bey's death the trustee office passed to their children.
The Torumtay Tomb is a two-story structure built by Seyfeddin Torumtay in 1278, opposite the Gökmedrese Mosque; besides Torumtay, his children and grandchildren are buried there as well. Waqf administration, however, was in the hands of a separate family. The text shows that administration passed from father to son in this family and, after a trusteeship lasting fifty years, slid through the daughters' husbands to the sons-in-law's families. In the same structure, the tomb keepership and sheikhship were in another family, that of Çelebi Şeyhzâde (see 6-510). Thus in running the structure the trustee and the sheikh were separate persons.
The title "Beylerbeyi" in the text and the information that Ahmed Bey descended from Torumtay could not be verified in another source. The lineage chain Hüsameddin gives has also not been compared with a document.
