Jan Henryk Dombrowski (1755-1818) was born in Pierszowice in the District of Cracow. He took part in the Polish campaigns against Russia and Prussia. Following the defeat of the Poles in 1794, he went to France in 1796 where the Directory commissioned him to form a Polish legion composed of exiled Poles.
Dombrowski exhibited remarkable military abilities in the Italian campaign of 1799-1800. In 1806, Napoleon ordered him to summon his countrymen to arms. He commanded troops under Napoleon until Napoleon met his defeat. Dombrowski fought in battles at Dirschau, Friedland, Teltow, Grossbeeren, Jüterbog, andLeipzig.
Dombrowski returned to Poland after the fall of Napoleon. Emperor Alexander I appointed him a general and a Senator in 1815, but Dombrowski resigned in 1816. He died on June 6, 1818.

There are a lot of Polish noble families with surname Dąbrowski, so is easy to confuse them.
Dąbrowski h. Abdank, Bawola Głowa, Cholewa, Dąbrowa, Dołęga, Drogosław, Godziemba, Grabie, Hołobok, Jastrzębiec, Jelita, Junosza, Korab, Korczak, Kuszaba, Leliwa, Lew, Lubicz, Nałęcz, Nieczuja, Ogończyk, Ossorya, Pierzcha, Pobóg, Poraj, Przerowa, Radwan, Rawicz, Rola, Sas, Ślepowron, Szeliga, Trzy Gwiazdy, Warnia, Zabawa, Zagłoba, Własne.

It seems Jan Henryk Dąbrowski is herbem własnego and his Coat of arms is Image:Herb--dabrowski--boniecki.PNG, according to Adam Boniecki, "Herbarz Polski" (Warszawa, POLSKA: Gebethner i Wolff w Warszawie, 1901), Volume IV, page 124. and this drawing is hard to be considered as odmiana herbu szlacheckiego Dołęga, Image:HerbDolega.svg.
