John,
I don't know anything about Jitumov, but "Rusterschietz" is correctly
spelled Rosterschuetz (umlaut u), and is called Wladyslawow in Polish. This
town was founded in 1727 very close to the already existing village of
Russocice at the coordinates 52.06'N 18.29'E. It was the oldest German
clothmaker town in Central Poland. The Lutheran parish there was established
in 1776.

Hope this helps,
