[77]
Antoni Sadowski believed to be the son of Marcin Sadowski was born about 1669 in Gostyn, Poland, and died April 22, 1736 in the vicinity of Douglasville, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Bird about 1704, daughter of Andrew Bird and Mary ?.
It is believed that he attended a classical school as he is reputed by descendants to have spoken seven languages. As soon as he finished his schooling he continued in government service in Poland. In 1700 Sweden invaded the area of Riga which was then Polish territory and Antoni and his brother left home to participate in the battles. In the spring of 1700 Antoni was captured and his brother killed in an attack. Oral history says that he survived torture during interrogation and later escaped from his prison ship into Riga Harbor.
He escaped to Scotland where he tutored and shortly thereafter he made his way across the Atlantic to the area of Freehold, New Jersey. Around 1704 he married Mary Bordt the daughter of Andrew Bordt and Mary of Long Island, New York. In 1712 Antoni moved to Pennsylvania where he purchased for 30 pounds, 400 acres of land along the Schuylkill River 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, southeast of current Reading and near the present village of Douglasville. In 1716 he built a stone house and was involved in the organization of Amity Township, in Berks County. Antoni learned the Delaware and Iroquois Indian languages and served as an interpreter and representative of the colonial government to the Indians. He was actively involved in the Indian fur trade and there are claims that he was responsible for the name now used by Sandusky, Ohio.
Antoni Sadowski died on April 22, 1736 and he was buried in the graveyard of St. Gabriel's Church just a mile from his home. His estate inventory was made by George Boone, grandfather of Daniel Boone. After Antoni's death Mary nee Bird married Thomas Palmer a neighbor, in Christ Church, Philadelphia. They moved to (West) Virginia near Parsons Creek, Virginia where she died in 1758.
