Polish term or phrase: dziedzic cząstkowy
In an 1857 death record, the informant is listed as a "dziedzic cząstkowy." I can't find an English equivalent to this. Any suggestions?

part-village owning petty noble//partial nobility
Explanation:
petty nobility (drobna szlachta), owners of a part of a village or owning no land at all, often referred to by a variety of colourful Polish terms such as:
szaraczkowa - grey nobility, from their grey, woollen, uncoloured zupans
okoliczna - local nobility, similar to zaściankowa
zagrodowa - from zagroda, a farm, often little different from a peasant's dwelling
zagonowa - from zagon, a small unit of land measure, hide nobility
cząstkowa - partial, owners of only part of a single village
panek - little pan (i.e. lordling), term used in Kaszuby, the Kashubian region, also one of the legal terms for legally separated lower nobility in late medieval and early modern Poland
hreczkosiej - buckwheat sowers - those who had to work their fields themselves.
zaściankowa - from zaścianek, a name for plural nobility settlement, neighbourhood nobility. Just like hreczkosiej, zaściankowa nobility would have no peasants.
brukowa - cobble nobility, for those living in towns like townsfolk
gołota - naked nobility, i.e. the landless. Gołota szlachta would be considered the 'lowest of the high'.

fractional village owner, petty (noble) landowner/landholder, petty gentry


Explanation:


... he would have been reduced to a fractional village owner if he had had to share the family patrimony of two little villages with his several brothers - https://goo.gl/xVTjvk - page 36

"Not a bit!" interrupted Bucket, "for he is an upstart that rose from being a petty landholder. - https://archive.org/stream/pantadeuszorthel28240gut/28240-pd...

---

The paucity of information on petty to middling estates, from, say, a fraction of a village to three or four villages, remains a major obstacle to a full investigation of the peasant condition - https://goo.gl/fuS3xU

Heir of a property fraction


Explanation:
IMO "cząstkowy" refers to this circumstance: a fraction/fragment/part of a property (land, villages, etc.) owned by her/his late parents, without going deeper into details.

Nobility remained nobility - despite that sometimes the 'fractional heir/ess' was nearly as poor as the 'souls' =human component of the property.
