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]
John Abel married Anna Rouw (1787-1860) on 15 July 1804 in Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, New Jersey. Anna was the daughter of Philip Row and Mary (Smith) Row. The entry in the Marriages recorded at the Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, N.J. says:[4]
"John Abel and Anna Rouw, July 15 [1804]"John and Anna (Row) Abel/Auble had at least nine children between 1804 and 1830.
- Sophia Auble, born about 1805, Sussex, New Jersey; married (1) Alley H. Foster, before 1827, Sussex, New Jersey, one child; married (2) Seth W. Hulse, before 1850, Sussex, New Jersey, no children; died 1 May 1887, Blairstown, Warren, New Jersey.

- two males under age 5 (probably sons Hamptoin and Robert)
- two males age 5-10 (probably sons Nathan and Samuel)
- one male age 10-15 (probably son David)
- one male age 50 to 60 (certainly John)
- one female age 5-10 (perhaps a daughter indexed with wrong age?)
- one female age 15-20 (probably daughter Elizabeth)
- one female age 40-50 (certainly Anna)
There is a John Auble household in Newton, Sussex, NJ in the 1840 United States 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.
It is possible that this Johannes/John Abel/Able/Auble (1780-1831) 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 (1780-1831) is not known.
Anna (Rouw) Auble resided in Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey with her daughter Sophia Hulse in the 1850 and 1860 United States census. Anna died 12 June 1860 in Stillwater, and is buried there.

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.
