Dostoevsky's father

[Michael Denner]

Does anyone know the rank that M. A. Dostoevsky (F. M.'s father)
achieved? I have read two conflicting accounts whether or not his father
reached a sufficiently high rank to receive hereditary nobility. (I
suspect it has to do with the changes to the Table instituted in 1845.)

 

Curious,

mad
