Khattaknamah Akorkhel Khattak
Unfortunately, the great Khan passed away on the 12th of March 1939 in a car accident on Grand Trunk Road while visiting Adamzai village to meet his relatives. A few years later, his son Major Abdul Qadir Khan also died in WW2 on one of the battlefields in Burma. Abdul Jabbar Khan has been successful in maintaining the Hujra Khankhel. After his demise, Colonel (r) Haider Zaman who is a practicing doctor and settled in Adamzai (Nowshera) Nowshera is the only surviving male issue from this line of the Akorkhel Khattak family.
This village is where the Ashrafkhel Khattaks (successors of Ashraf Khan Hijri) had settled after having been relocated from the original ancestral abode around Akora Khattak to village Ameeru nestled in the mountains towards south of Cherat and Manki hills. Thereafter, some members of the Ashrafkhel (Akorkhel) Khattak family resettled on their respective properties in the villages of Shaidu, Akora, Adamzai while maintaining existing family links to Akokrkhel Khattaks in Gumbat, Teri, and Jamal Garhi, etc.
Prior to the partition of Indo-Pak Subcontinent Ameer village was frequented by the Britishers as well as all the notables and family friends and had been the choicest site for hunters, especially with falcons. Partridges pheasants and quails were the popular game birds.
Ameer village is blessed with streams of sweet water. Once there were several small beautiful gardens with plenty of fruit trees, like; lemon, mango, orange, papaya, guava, and alike.
