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

Anna Row's birth date of about 1787 is an estimate.  She was married in July 1804,[7] so she would have been at least 17 years old at the time.  The 1850 census record[2] says she was 66 years old (implies 1783-1784), and the 1860 U.S. census record[3] says she was 73 (implies 1786-1787).  Her death in 1860 at age 72 would imply a birth year of about 1787-1788.

Anna Rouw married John Abel on 15 July 1804 in New Germantown, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.[7]  The entry in the Marriages recorded at the Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick, N.J. says:

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

The 1817 will of Philip Jacob Row identifies Anna Auble as his daughter.[1]  She received a bequest of $5.  

John and Anna (Row) Auble had five known children - Elizabeth, David, William, Hampton, and robert, born between 1814 and 1830.  John Auble died in 1831 in Byram, Sussex County, New Jersey.

In the 1850 U.S. Census for Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey, the Seth W. Hulse household included:[2]

*  Seth W. Hulse - age 53, male, white, labourer, $6000 in real property, born in N.J.
*  Sophia Hulse - age 46, female, white, born in N.J.
*  Euphemia Foster - age 20, female, white, born in N.J.
*  Ann Auble - age 66, female, white, born in N.J.

In the 1860 U.S. Census for Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey, the Sophia Hults household included:[3]

*  Sophia Hults - age 49, female, white, $1350 in real property, $210 in personal property, born in N.J.
*  Ann L. Buit - age 5, female, white, born in N.J.
*  Ann Auble - age 73, female, white, born in N.J.

The relationship between Ann Auble and Seth or Sophia Hulse is not known.

The death record in the New Jersey Deaths and Burials Index, 1798-1971 has this indexed information:[4]

NAME: Ann Auble
[Ann Row] 
BIRTH DATE: abt 1788
BIRTH PLACE: Morris Co
DEATH DATE: 12 Jun 1860
DEATH PLACE: Stillwater, Sussex, New Jersey
DEATH AGE: 72 years
OCCUPATION: Laborer
MARITAL STATUS: Widowed
GENDER: Female
FATHER NAME: Phillip Row
MOTHER NAME: Ann
FHL FILM NUMBER: 584582

The inscription on the gravestone in Harmony Hill Methodist Churchyard in Stillwater, New Jersey says:[5-6]

Anna
Wife of
John Auble 
Died Jun. 3, 1863
Age 72 yrs

There is a disparity between the death date reported in the New Jersey Deaths and burials database and the gravestone.  It is possible that the gravestone was installed several years after the death and the death date was inscribed wrongly.
