R. Yaakov Meir Tzvi Friedlander (d. Cheshvan 1847, Ishim BiTeshuvot HaChatam Sofer, 295, p. 195), served as dayan in his hometown, Bonyhád. In ca. 1830, he was appointed rabbi of Šurany, a position he held until his untimely passing. He exchanged halachic correspondence with the Chatam Sofer, and four of the responses to his questions are printed in the responsa books of the Chatam Sofer. Sections of his novellae, named Derech Yama, were printed at the end of Responsa Maharam Schick, parts Yoreh De'ah and Choshen Mishpat, and at the end of the book Hava Tamim.
His successor as rabbi of Šurany – R. Chizkiyahu Feivel Plaut (1818-1895), a prominent disciple of the Chatam Sofer and one of the first disciples of the Ketav Sofer. He authored Likutei Chaver Ben Chaim, 11 parts, which contains a great part of the teachings of the Chatam Sofer, his biography and customs. He served as rabbi of Šurany from 1849.
