Sarah (Cutter) Knapp (1785-1878) was the daughter of Stephen and Tabitha (Randolph) Cutter of Woodbridge, New Jersey.  She married William Knapp (1775-1856) in about 1804, and they had 11 children.  In about 1823, they moved to Newton, New Jersey.  

William and Sarah (Cutter) Knapp are my 3rd great-grandparents, through their daughter Sarah G. Knapp (1818-1904) who married David Auble (1817-1894) in about 1844 in Newton, New Jersey.
