In the 16th and 17th centuries, members of the family assumed important offices within the princely chancellery of the Principality.

In the charter, Alexander the Good offers to Peter Soldan, his wife (the daughter of boyar Ghiulea Capitaneus, captain of the Moldavian army) and to his brother, Miclaus, the Tatar slave villages at Tamârtășăuți on the Șomuz.
