Origin and Family
Vyhovsky was born in his family estate of Vyhov, near Korosten in the Kiev voivodship, a son of Ostap Vyhovsky, a vicegerent of Kiev fortress under voivode Adam Kisiel and an Orthodox nobleman from the Kiev region. There is also a possibility that the birth occurred at another family estate, Hoholiv, located near Poltava. Ostap Vyhovsky had 3 other sons and a daughter (all of them were exiled to Siberia after the downfall of Ivan Vyhovsky).
