Sherip Khimshiashvili information

Şerif Bey, Sherip Khimshiashvili (Georgian: შერიფ ხიმშიაშვილი), or Prince and Duke Sherif (Russian: Шериф-бек Аджарский) (1829 or 7 January 1833 – 1892) was a Georgian nobleman (Beylerbeyi ) of the Khimshiashvili Dynasty from Adjara in the Ottoman service. He defected to the Russian Empire during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78) and, thereby, was able to retain his property and accede to the rank of a general after the Russian takeover of Adjara.
