52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 93: #113 Sophia (Trimmer) Able (1755-before 1811)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  I am extending this theme in 2015 to 104 Ancestors in 104 Weeks. Here is my ancestor biography for week #93:

Sophia Trimmer (about 1755 - before 1811) is #113 on my Ahnentafel list, my 4th great-grandmother, who married #112 Johannes Able (about 1758-1818) in 1777.

I am descended through:

* their son, #56 John Auble (1780-1831), who married #57  Anna Row (1787-1860) in 1804,

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

Sophia Trimmer was born in about 1755 in Amwell, New Jersey to Matthias and Anna Martha (Nachbar) Trimmer.  She is named as "Sofie Abel" (wife of John Auble) in her father's 1791 will.[1]

Sophia Trimmer married John Abel on 30 January 1777 in the Zion Lutheran Church[2-3].  The marriage record in the Zion Lutheran Church records say:

"[1777] John Abel & Sophia Trimmer, Jam. 30"

Zion Lutheran Church birth and baptism records (New Germantown, New Jersey) include the children of Johannes/John and Sophia (Trimmer) Abel/Able/Auble[4].

Sophia (Trimmer) Able probably died before 1811, when John Able married, secondly, to widow Mary Cripps on 17 April 1811.
