The family is directly descended from Jan Niemira of Wsielub, the boyar coming from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania who was adopted during the Union of Horodło by Wojciech Jastrzębiec, the then bishop of Cracow and granted Polish coat of arm Jastrzębiec.

One of the first prominent member of this family was Jan Szczytowicz (d. 1519 or 1520), prince's marshall (hospodarski marszałek) during the reign of Zygmunt I Stary.
