"This name stands high in the annals of Poland. One of the greatest warriors of the 17th century was John Sobieski, who became John III, King of Poland 1674-1696. John Sobieski, according to Lee in his Genealogical History of NJ (Vol. I:295),was the son of "James Sobieski, Castillion of Cracow", a man of virtuous character, whose warlike spirit "secured to him the throne of Poland". Cracow is a city in Austrian Poland on the Vistula River, founded about 700 A.D., and was the capital of Poland from 1320 to 1609. The ancestors of James Sobieski of Cracow were Palatine nobles of Poland, as well as famous soldiers and statesmen for many generations. It is claimed by the above quoted author that from such ancestors, with such brilliant achievements in military and palatial affairs, the Zabriskies of America are descended. Albrecht Zabriski, according to Lee (see above), was a son of James Sobieski's brother, and was consequently a first cousin to King John III of Poland. Albrecht was sent by his father to Amsterdam to study for the ministry but was drafted instead to serve in the Prussian army. He decided to seek his fortune in the new world, and not the army, and he took passage on the Dutch ship D'Vos (TheFox), Aug. 31, 1662, and in a few weeks arrived in New Amsterdam. He fell in love with a Dutch maiden from Bergen, and his marriage is registered in the Dutch church of Bergen, and it is inferred he lived in that vicinity. That inference is confirmed by an East Jersey Patent, March 15, 1682-5 "To Abert Cawbrisco of Bergen" for 444 acres on the Hackensack River and Tantaque Brook (Overpeck Creek). He obtained patents for several adjoining tracts, and it is said his landed possessions extended from the Hackensack River to the Hudson River. In 1702 he acquired from the Indians 2100 acres adjoining his original purchase, and this purchase was known as the New Paramus Patent. His homestead was at Old Ackensack (now near Ridgefield Park) and here no doubt all his children were born. His death and burial are recorded in the burial register of the Lutheran Church of NY, i.e. "1711 Sept. 1 dead and buried at Hackensack Albret Saboriski about 72 or 73 years old". His descendents have been among the most active and successful developers of Northern New Jersey, and the name to this day is held in great respect.Authorities:New Netherlands Register, I:13N.J.

They were led by Count Sobieski, a lineal descendant of the wide-world-known John Sobieski, King of Poland, who routed the Tartars and Turks in 1683. The name Zabriskie, still found in New Jersey and New York, seems to be corrupted from Sobieski. "Albert Zaborowskij died September 1711, aged "about 73 years" at Ackinsack (Teaneck-Bogota-Ridgefield Park area), NJ, and was buried there according to the German Lutheran records of New York City (English translation by The Holland Society). His death has erroneously been recorded in the same register as between the years 1714 and 1719. No record has been found of a will or of the administration of his estate by the courts. The Bergen County land records show that his sons, in the years 1712 and 1734 arranged for the division of his estate among themBOYER, CARL, 3RD, editor.

Contact: R Daley - shorefarmer@hotmail.com. As with any good mystery, the scant facts of the case yield more heat than light. Upon his own testimony, the marriage registry at Bergen listed Albert Zabriskie's birthplace as "Enghestburgh." Yet no such place is known to researchers; some favoring Engelsberg in Austrian Silesia and others Angerburg or Insterburg in East Prussia. The surname, however, possibly derives from Zborowiska or Zabrze, a Silesian town on the west bank of the Prosna River. Since Albert Zabriskie was Lutheran, his family may have been displaced by religious wars that swept central Europe. From his age at the time of his death, we calculate that he was born about the year 1638.The curious name of the man with obscure origins appeared upon the passenger list of D'Vos (The Fox), which arrived in New Amsterdam on August 31, 1662, where is recorded "Albert Saboriski, from Prussia." Twenty-four years old when he disembarked(seemingly alone) in New Netherland, he is lost to history for a dozen years thereafter. He surfaces again from obscurity in 1675, when Albert Zaborowsky was reported trading with the Tappans, notably Mamshier, their sachem, and Metetoch andChechepowas, whereby these headmen became indebted to him. At thirty-eight years of age, he married Machtelt Van der Linden, a maiden but sixteen years old, on December 17, 16764. On October 11, 1680, the clerk of the Bergen Dutch Reformed Churchnoted that Machtelt, wife of Albert Sabarosky, had returned to the Lutheran faith which she had formerly forsaken.On July 15, 1679, Albert Saboroscoe acted as interpreter with the native owners in the purchase of Aschacking, "near Warepeeck and a run of water commonly called Tantaquaes Creeke," a tract of land at the head of New Barbadoes Neck, that extendednorthwest "unto Sadle river..." He attempted to purchase land in this neighborhood and on April 12, 1682, was issued a survey for 380 acres lying upon the Hackingsack River. He got a patent for 444 acres along the Hackensack River and TantaqueBrook (now Cole's Brook) on March 25, 1683, but when surveys were finally drawn, only 224 acres of this amount could be found unclaimed by others. Albert Saberasky witnessed the purchase of land in the northern Hackensack valley and alongPeskeckie Creek, conveyed by Tappan sackemacker Memsha9, Mettatoch and Seytheypoey to the East Jersey Proprietors on October 16, 1684.Back on January 6, 1676, Laurence Andriessen (Van Buskirk) & Company had purchased "a tract of land called by the name of New Hackensack, bounded on Olde Hackensack and from thence running to a small kill or vale [later known as French Creek]adjoining to the Great Indian fielde called the Indian Castle to the northward" from the Hackensack sachem Tantaque. It was subdivided into strips of land extending between the Hackensack River and the west branch of Overpeck Creek. On March 25,1685, the East Jersey Proprietors conveyed 183 acres "upon the New Plantations upon the Hackensack River called by the name of New Hackinsacke" to Albert Sabboresco of Bergen, planter. This tract was bounded southeast by the west branch of Overpeck Creek (now called Teaneck Creek) and northwest by the Hackensack River. Here he made his home. A year or so later, Albert Saberiscoe (with the Indian alias Totlock) witnessed the sale by several Hackensack and Tappan sachems of a parcel of land "adjoining unto Captane Sandford's bounds upwards pasaick River five rods beyond a run of water called by the Indians Warepeake, but the right name of the said run is Rerakanes & by the English named Sadle River," made November 29, 168614.On January 5, 1686, Governor Gawen Lawrie (on behalf of Peter Sonmans) received a patent for three parcels of land on the west bank of the Hackensack River in what is now Oradell and River Edge: one tract of 1,520 acres; another of 643 acres; and a third of 261 acres.15 On September 1, 1686, the East Jersey Proprietors conveyed two adjacent tracts of land to Albert Saberiscoe (Zabriskie): the first was described as 330 acres "called Coovange the Indian's land," extending between the Hackensack and Saddle Rivers, bounded north by land of Daniel River (the boundary line running along what is now Adams Avenue in River Edge) and south by his own land; the second tract of 250 acres also extended from the Hackensack River to theSaddle River, and was bounded south by land of Peter Sonmans and north by his own land. The deed survey for the southern tract began at two marked red oaks and a walnut tree, standing "by the path" (now Kinderkamack Road) at the point where Kinderkamack Road and Jackson Avenue presently intersect. From here, the property extended southwest along the river and then about three miles northwest to the Saddle River. Today, Manning Avenue in River Edge runs along the southwest limit of this tract. On September 4, 1686, Albert Saberiscoe of Bergen deeded 450 acres, comprising the eastern side of these lands, to Richard Pope of Hackinsack. The portion conveyed extended from the Hackensack River west to Winocksack (Sprout) Brook,bounded north by land of Daniel River and south by lands also purchased by Richard Pope. On October 29, 1695, Albert Sobrisco of Hackinsack sold 224 acres on the west side of the Hackensack River to Jacob Vansan of New York. The survey for this tract began at the north corner of the tract of land that David Ackerman purchased from Matheus Corneliuson, fronting the Hackensack River and extended two and a quarter miles northwest to a branch of the Saddle River (now called Sprout Brook),being bounded north by land patented to Gawen Lawrie in right of Peter Sonmans and south by land of David Ackerman. The Council of the East Jersey Proprietors, meeting on November 11, 1695, agreed to the petition of Albert Zobrisco to grant a patent to Jacob Jansen (Van Saun) for 229 acres sold him and for a warrant to lay out 200 acres wanting of his former patent upon the Saddle River. Jacob Vansan of New York City, boatman, received his deed for the same on November 29, 1695. This tract (now in River Edge) extended from Howland Avenue south to Reservoir Avenue; to the west, the original boundary line runs along the south side of Lexington Drive. On June 1, 1702, Orachanap (alias Metachenak), Coovang and Nomerascon, Tappan Indians, conveyed a tract of 1,200 acres on the southeast side of Saddle River, called Weerommensa, to Albert Zaborowsky. This tract began on the northeast bounds ofClaess Jansson Romyn's land (now Mill Road) and ran beyond his line to a great rock, from thence it ran in a straight line "up to a certain small run [Musquapsink Brook] which is Easterly just below a certain old Indian field or plantation, knownby the name of Weromensa" (located in vicinity of intersection of Wierimus Road and Woodcliff Avenue),"18 to a marked pear tree, from thence in a straight line (along present route of East Allendale Avenue and Woodcliff Lake Road) to certain wild cherry trees or a white oak, marked on three sides, from thence to the Saddle River and down the River to the beginning point, supposedly encompassing 1,200 acres. On March 29, 1708, Albert Zaborowsky of Hackingsack, yeoman, conveyed "the full,true and equal half" of this tract to Thomas Van Buskerk.As interpreter, Albert Zabriskie negotiated a sale of land on the Passaic River by the native owners to George Ryerson of Pechqueneck, Francis Ryerson of New York City and Jurya Westervelt of Hackensack, by deed dated September 16, 1709. He died September 1, 1711, aged about 73 years, and was buried at Hackinsack, being survived by his wife and five sons: (1) Jacob A., (2) John A., (3) Joost A., (4) Christian A., and (5) Henry. He left no will and his lands were apparently divided among his children the following summer.
