Makino clan genealogy
The fudai Makino clan originated in 16th century Mikawa province. Their elevation in status by Toyotomi Hideyoshi dates from 1588. They claim descent from Takechiuchi no Sukune, who was a legendary Statesman and lover of the legendary Empress Jingu.
Hideshige was part of a cadet branch of the Makino which was created in 1633. The Makino were installed at Sekiyado Domain in Shimosa Province in 1644. From 1668 through the Meiji Restoration, the descendants had holdings at Tanabe Domain (35,000 koku) in Tango Province. Descendants lived from 1634 through 1868 at Mineyama Domain (11,000 koku) in Echigo Province.
The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Viscount" in the Meiji period.
