Albrecht Zaborowski[1][2] (also rendered Saborowski; anglicized as Albert Zabriskie; 1638–1711) of Grudziądz, was a Polish emigrant, one of the pioneers of European colonization in what is now New Jersey, who settled there on August 31, 1662.
After the Thirty Years' War upheavals in Europe, he decided to emigrate to America, to escape being drafted into army, as one of the pioneers of European colonization within the area of present-day New Jersey.
In 1662 "Albert Saboriski, from Enghestburgh Prussia" arrived on board the Dutch ship De Vos (The Fox) to New Amsterdam (present-day New York City).
They had 10 kids: Hendricktje, Fytje (Sophia), Marritje, Albert, Jan, Jannetje, Rachel, Machtelt, Stephen and Jacob.
Peter Zabriskie (1721-1791)[6] opened his home to General George Washington as the Revolutionary Army retreated across the Hudson River from the battle of New York City.
