(VIII) David Demarest, son of John C. and Jane (Demarest) Zabriskie, was born in Paramus, November 27, 1856. He attended the district school of his native town and pre- pared for college at the celebrated high school in Flatbush, Long Island, known then and now as Erasmus Hall Academy. He matric- ulated at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, the alma mater of so many noble men of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amer- ica, and the chief college in the eastern portion of the United States under the denominational control of the Dutch Reformed Church, and where over two thousand sons of that church have graduated since its organization in 1766. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts at Rutgers in 1879, became a law student in the office of Collins & Corbin in Jersey City, New Jersey, and pursued a course in law at Columbia College Law School, New York City, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1881. He was licensed as an attorney at law under the laws of New Jersey in No- vember, 1882, and practiced in Jersey City as such up to June, 1889, when he was admitted
as a counsellor at law, which admitted him to all the courts of New Jersey and the circuit and supreme courts. He served as counsel for Bergen county during the years 1896-97, after which he was appointed by Governor Griggs judge of the court of common pleas, succeed- ing Judge Van Valen. His rulings have invari- ably stood the test when appealed to the higher courts, which fact testifies to his scholarly at- tainments and thorough knowledge of the law, whose researches have carried him far and wide into the realms of legal investigation, and he possesses a weight of character, a native sagacity, a far-seeing judgment and a fidelity of purpose that commands the respect of all. His duties at court made Hackensack his busi- ness home, but he continued to. maintain his law offices in Jersey City and his home resi- dence in Ridgewood. He was an organizer and succeeded General Bird W. Spencer, of Passaic, president of the North Jersey Title and Guarantee Company, formed for the con- venience and protection of land owners and land purchasers in northern New Jersey. His fraternal affiliation with the Masonic order came through membership in the Fidelity Lodge, No. 113, of Ridgewood. His patriotic affiliation with the Holland Society of New York comes by right of descent from the Van der Lindas of Holland, his paternal immigrant ancestor being of Polish blood. His religious birthright as a son of the Dutch Reformed Church extends to the church as it was founded in Holland and transplanted to the New Netherlands, and the loyalty of the family to the faith of their forefathers is seldom found wanting.
Judge Zabriskie married, October 21, 1883, Lizzie S. Suydam, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Runyon) Suydam, of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Their only child, Ethelind S., born September 7, 1884, died August 5, 1905.

Besides, he was engaged in large private enterprises, and became a stock- holder in the various roads and other corpora- tion work he contracted to build.

Bergen, July 3, 1696, and died 1774. He mar- ried, May 28, 1714, Lea Hendricksje Hoope (Hopper).
