What we know about Abraham's family in New Jersey is based on documentary leads; he was the son of Abraham Vanderbeck Senior (b. 1732 d. 1817) and the most likely candidate for his mother was Sarah Ackerman Vanderbeck (b. 1740 d. 1827). He had probably been a member of the Dutch Reformed Church in New Jersey, as his parents were buried at the Old Paramus Reformed Church Cemetery, which interestingly was used as headquarters by Washington. Old Paramus Cemetery also contains a grave of a possible brother, John Van Derbeck (b. 1761 d. 1830). It was difficult for families to maintain close tied during and after the war. Although Abraham Vanderbeck Senior also joined the British cause, he remained in New York after the war, while his son chose to migrate to New Brunswick.

Arriving at the St. John River on the ship Esther in October 1783, Abraham first received land with other members of the 3rd (the battalion had been renumbered by this point) New Jersey Volunteers in the Parish of Prince William, York County. Throughout the experience of war and migration, Abraham had a companion; his cousin Cornelius Ackerman, who was also a veteran of the 4th/ 3rd Battalion. After being comrades in arms, they later became successful business partners in Fredericton.
