"Deeds, 1785-1901; Index, 1785-1930 [Sussex County, New Jersey]," digital images, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, FamilySearch (https://www.FamilySearch.org : accessed 19 August 2018), Land deeds, Volume E4, 1843-1844, pages 3333-334, deed of Dabid Auble and wife to David L. Foster, dated 17 January 1846, recorded 3 February 1846; Original deed in Sussex County Courthouse, Newton, N.J., also on FHL US/CAN microfilm 959,959.
With this deed, David and Sarah Auble sold their one-half interest in the 4 acre tract of land in Newton township, Sussex County, New Jersey for 155 dollars lawful money of the United States to David L. Foster.
The land seems to be in a diamond shape (the bounds are all at a 45 degree angle), about 5 chains (330 feet) wide and about 9 chains (590 feet) long, with neighbors of David Thompson, Azariah Drake, David L. Foster and William Beach on a hill northwest of the village of Newton.
David Auble formed a partnership in 1838 with David L. Foster as shoemakers in Newton, New Jersey. David Foster married in 1839 to Hannah Maria Knapp, whose sister, Sarah G. Knapp married David Auble in about 1844. So David Foster and David Auble were brothers-in-law.
David (1817-1894) and Sarah G. (Knapp) Auble (1818-1904) are my second great-grandparents. They moved to Newark, New Jersey in about 1846, and then to Terre Haute, Indiana in about 1865. They had six children, including my great-grandfather, Charles Auble (1849-1916).
