Bernherd Sabalis came from Holland, and spent about four years in practice in Albany. He became a member of the Society in 1834, and gained quite a large patronage from the Dutch population. He removed to Schoharie county, where he remained about four years longer, when he returned to Holland. While in Albany he was associated with Dr. John Van Buren. Nothing is known of him since his return to his own country. He left behind him the reputation of an adventurer.
