Under Maratha Empire
The Vinchurkar family rose to importance in the middle of the eighteenth century when Vithal Shivdev Vinchurkar was at its head, he distinguished himself at the siege of Ahmadabad in 1755, and accompanied the Maratha army in the fatal expedition which ended in the defeat of Panipat. The Vinchurkars hail from Vinchur village of Maratha Empire (now part of Maharashtra). However Nasik district was the home of the well-known Sardar Vinchurkar family. The Vinchurkars held forty five villages in Nasik as well as elsewhere in Maratha Empire of which Yeola was one. The Vinchurkar family also played a crucial role in the Third Battle of Panipat which took place on 14 January 1761, Where the army of Marathas fought Afghan invader Ahmad Shah Durrani. Vitthal Narsingh Vinchurkar was the Sardar of Peshwa and one of the grandees of Maratha Empire who continued to be loyal to Peshwa almost to the bitter end. The Vinchurkars have their land of  and  in Khandesh. Under East India Company
After the defeat of Bajirao II  by Yashwantrao Holkar at the Battle of Poona, Bajirao II fled to British protection, and in December 1802, concluded the Treaty of Bassein with the British East India Company, ceding territory for the maintenance of a subsidiary force and agreeing to treaty with no other power. This provoked the Second Anglo-Maratha War that began the breakup of the Maratha confederacy. Holkar appointed Amrutrao as the Peshwa and went to Indore on 13 March 1803. When Bajirao II surrendered to John Malcolm, Vitthal Narsing Vinchurkar was present. He tendered his submission to Sir John Malcolm when his master the Peshwa accepted the Malcolm's terms. Sir John Malcolm believed that Narsing Vinchurkar was to a large extent responsible for influencing Bajirao II for accepting the Malcolm's terms. According to these terms jagir of Vinchurkars was restored to them by the British. The British reinstated Bajirao II as the Peshwa at Pune on 13 May 1803. During his second reign of Bajirao II began the Third Anglo-Maratha War. After the defeat at the Battle of Koregaon in January 1818, The British took over his dominion and made the Maratha King Pratap Singh of Satara declare in favour of the British. This ended the Peshwa's legal position as head of the Maratha confederacy. Under British Raj
