Record Group: Zabriskie Family Series: Papers, 1804-1887 Accession #: 1995.036 Series #: PZABR001 Guide Date: 11/1996 (JK) Volume: 1.5 c.f. [3 boxes]
Contents
Content Note
This collection consists primarily of the legal papers of Abraham O. Zabriskie and his sons, prominent attorneys in Bergen (and later Hudson) County. A. O. Zabriskie served as Surrogate of Bergen County and later Chancellor of the State of New Jersey.
Many of the documents were exhibits in cases brought before the Chancery Court by A. O. Zabriskie as solicitor for the plaintiff. Generally, these involve ejectment or foreclosure suits. Files described below as "Papers re: case of ..." almost always include (at least) an original mortgage and bond.
NOTE: The Zabriskie family papers were received by the State Archives as part of a donation of early Bergen County manuscripts relating to several families, including also the Robert Campbell family and the Ward and Haring families. The documents relating to the different families were completely intermingled, and much research was done to establish the resulting manuscript series. In many instances, the indexes and dockets of the Chancery Court were used to identify A. O. Zabriskie or his sons as the attorneys in certain legal suits. In such cases, notations to this effect have been included in brackets in the items descriptions below (e.g., "[Abraham O. Zabriskie, attorney]"). In other cases, a direct connection to the Zabriskie family could not be ascertained but the manuscripts have been included in this series based on the localities and families involved and the fact that the bulk of the donation was Zabriskie material. In these cases, the item descriptions are followed by an asterisk (*). There is a possibility that some documents of the documents so marked are not related to the Zabriskie family.
The items are listed below in chronological order. Documents involving legal actions were filed according to the date on which A. O. Zabriskie or his sons initiated the lawsuit (if known), not the actual date of the manuscripts, which might pre-date the suit by more than a decade. The actual date of the document(s) is given in the item descriptions below in parentheses following the date of the lawsuit. Undated materials have been placed at the beginning of the collection.
All places referred to below are in New Jersey unless otherwise indicated; most are in either Bergen County or Hudson County.
