4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

The entry in the birth and baptism book of the Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, New Jersey says that Johannes Abel was born 11 March 1780 to Johannes and his wife Sophia Abel, and was baptized 25 June 1780.  The witnesses were the parents.[2]

The entry in the Marriages recorded at the Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, N.J. says:[5]

"John Abel and Anna Rouw, July 15 [1804]"

John and Anna (Row) Abel/Auble had at least five children between 1804 and 1830.  

There are no  New Jersey census records available before 1830.  In the 1830 US census for New Jersey, a John Auble household was in Green, Sussex County, New Jersey.[1] The household included:

*   two males under age 5, 
*  two males age 5-10, 
*  one male age 10-15, 
*  one male age 50 to 60, 
*  one female age 5-10, 
*  one female age 15-20, 
*  one female age 40-50.

A John Auble died about 1831, probably in Byram, Sussex, New Jersey, and an inventory for a John Auble, taken 1 March 1831, was located in the Sussex, New Jersey, County Probate Records[4].   This is probably the John Auble who married Anna Row.

There is a John Auble household in Newton, Sussex, NJ in the 1840 US census.  The household included:

*  three males under age 15, 
*  one male age 30-40, 
*  five females under age 15 
*  a female aged 30 to 40.

This John Auble may be the son of John Auble.  The second John Auble (age 47) is also shown in the 1850 census in Green, Sussex, NJ with a large family.  If the age is correct, then his birth would pre-date Johannes Able's marriage to Anna Row in 1804.

It is possible that this first Johannes/John Abel/Able/Auble was married more than once.  It is also possible that the second John Auble was born out of wedlock.  

The burial location for John Auble is not known.

Hi, Randy!

I posted a story in December ("Me No Go, Me Can Die First"), which features an ancestor of my own who was married in the Zion Lutheran Church of Oldwick!

Since you've been spending time playing with Geni (and I've been enjoying reading about what you find there!), you may already know this connection, but your Sophie Trimmer could be related to another interesting family. Because of my Nixon Connection, I have an Anthony Trimmer in my tree; he is the father-in-law of the late President's great-grandfather, George Nixon. Anthony's father, Paul, was born in Mount Hope, NJ, around 1750, according to the info I have.

Anyway, just wanted to share that - it's fun when a small detail turns into a real connection like that.
