They were both imprisoned by Akbar while fighting for other Rajput principalities. Later after release, they conquered Pargana Amsin[4] of Awadh and established a separate Taluka Pali.[5] By 1227 fasali i.e.1820 there were 159 villages under the baruwars[6] which were later abolished till Indian Rebellion of 1857. While there is another similar clan named Berwar , they are mainly residents of Ballia and Azamgarh districts of Uttar Pradesh but they are considered a branch of Tomars of Delhi. They came to their current location from an ancient city named Bernagar near Delhi[7]
