John Sobieski, John III., ZABRISKIE king of Poland, 1674-96, was one of the greatest warriors. of the seventeenth century. His father, James Sobieski, castillion of Cracow, was a man of virtuous character, and in behalf of his fellow countrymen he developed a warlike spirit which secured to him the throne of Poland. He brought up his sons, Mark and John, born be- tween 1624 and 1629, with the utmost care, and they completed their education by travel and observation in France, England, Germany and Italy. On the death of their father in 1648 they were recalled home, and after the defeat of the Polish army by the Russians in the battle of Pilawieez, the brothers Sobieski took up arms to restore the fortunes of their countrymen, and Mark fell in battle on the banks of the Bog. This spurred John to greater valor, and he became the admiration of the Poles and the dread of the Tartans and Cossacks. He received the highest military rank in the army, and November II, 1673, in the great battle of Choezim, he defeated the Turks, who left twenty-eight thousand men dead and wounded on the battle-field. This led to his unanimous election of king of Poland, May 21, 1674, and he was crowned at Cracow. In 1683 the Turks besieged Vienna, and King John III., with twenty thousand Poles aided by the German auxiliaries, raised the siege by the victory of September 12, 1683, in which battle he took the banner of Mohammed and sent it as a trophy to the pope. His entry into Vienna was that of a conqueror, and the citi- zens of the besieged city showed every demon- stration of joy and thanksgiving their ingenuity could devise or their glad hearts express.


John Sobieski was not only a warrior and ruler but a lover of science and a man of gentle disposition and agreeable manner. His constant wars did not allow him, however, to attend to the industrial needs of the citizens at home, and the want of such fostering care hastened the downfall of Poland. He died of apoplexy, June 17, 1696. His ancestors had been for two centuries Palatine nobles of Poland and famous soldiers and statesmen. It is from such ancestors with such records of military and executive greatness that the Za- briskies of New Jersey and New York are de- scended, and the cognomen has, through the German, Holland and English spellings, evolved


from Zobrieski, Saboroweski, Sobrisco, Za- brioski, to Zabriskie .*


(I) Albert Saboriski, son of a brother of James Sobieski, and cousin of King John III., of Poland, who like his nephew was a famous soldier, was born in Zolkwa, Poland (or Enghs- burg, Prussia), probably in 1638. He was given a liberal education, being sent by his father to Amsterdam, Holland, with the hope that he would enter the ministry, and he direct- ed his studies to that end for a time, but the preparation proved distasteful and he abandon- ed theology ; subsequently he was pressed into the Prussian army. To fight for the old enemy of Poland was far more distasteful, and he determined to seek his fortune in the new world and join his friends who had gone from the Upper Palatinate to New Amsterdam and made homes there and in New Jersey. He took passage in the Dutch ship "D'Vos" (the "Fox"), Captain Jacob Jansz Huys, at Amster- dam, Holland, August 31, 1662, and landed in New Amsterdam, where he lived for ten or more years without settling in any one place or engaging in any settled business. We find him in Bergen (now Jersey City) about the time of his marriage, which is registered in the books of the Dutch Reformed Church of Ber- gen, December 17, 1676, and the marriage cer- tificate recorded as issued January 8, 1677. He married Machtelt ( Matilda), daughter of Joost Van der Linde, whose brother, Roloff Van der Linde, became one of the largest land- holders in Bergen. Upon his marriage he took title to a tract of land, patent 20, 21, 22. In 1682 he obtained patents from Lady Cartaret of several adjacent tracts, thus extending his estate from the Hudson river on the east to the Hackensack river on the west. The Indians also bargained with him for land at Tappan, higher up the river, which in 1702 he nominally exchanged for twenty-one hundred acres owned by the Indians, adjoining his original purchases, and this second purchase became known as the New Paramus Patent. (See map of Perth Amboy). He erected a house at Old Acken- sack (now near Ridgefield Park), and his eld- est sons, Jacob and Jan (John), and probably all his children, were born there. He helped to organize the church on the green at Old Hackensack in 1696, his name appearing on stone in present church wall, and was the lead- ing member and supporter of that church for

over twenty-five years. He was also the first justice of the peace of Upper Bergen county (his original signature appearing on deed held by Wesley Van Emburgh, of Ridgewood, New Jersey), his commission having been signed by Governor Hamilton in 1682. He died in Hack- ensack, and is supposed to have been buried there, September II, 17II, according to the record of the Lutheran churches in and about New York, and his age is stated as between seventy-two and seventy-three years. His widow, born in 1656, died in 1725. In the record of his death his name is written "Albert Saboriski."


Children of Albert and Matilda (Van der Linde) Saboriski, born in or near Hack- ensack, Bergen county, New Jersey: 1. Jacob A., April 12, 1679; see sketch. 2. Jan (John), born in Hackensack, about 1682 ; married, Sep- tember 20, 1706, Elizabeth Cloes Romeyn, of Gravesend, Long Island, New York, born 1683, died in Hackensack in 1712; he married (sec- ond), December 6, 1712, Marguaretta du Rij (Durie), and lived on the old homestead fac- ing the green alongside the church in Hacken -- sack, which he inherited, and besides being a farmer he was active in public affairs ; he had four children by his first wife and nine by his second. 3. Yost (George), see sketch. 4. Christian, see sketch. 5. Hendrick, see for- ward.


There is a tradition in the family that Jacob A., eldest son of Albert, was stolen by the Indian sachem when seven years old and carried to the Indian village nearby, and that some time elapsed before his whereabouts be- came known. As his father was a true friend of the Indians, the sachem at last disclosed the secret of taking the child, and he expressed the wish that he be allowed to keep the boy until he had become versed in the Indian lan- guage, that he might be able to maintain the friendship established by the father, and, like him, act as an arbitrator and interpreter in any trouble that might come up between the Indians and their white neighbors. The father consented and when he had returned to his father's home he had acquired the language, and his friend- ship for the Indians was a fixed principle of his life. The tradition adds that in considera- tion of allowing the boy to remain, the second grant of Upper Paramus was secured. The fact, however, remained that valuable mer- chandise, wampum and money was paid the Indians by Albert Saboriski for the land.
