The homestead was built by John Lebold, the fourth son and seventh child of Conrad Lebold, a native of Wurtemburg, Germany, who immigrated to Tuscarawas County and Zoar in 1830 with his wife, Hedwig, and eight of their children. After working for a short time as a cooper in the Village of Zoar, Conrad had saved Machan land, once part of a 4,000-acre tract of military land bought in 1800 and and probably. in a frame replacement, the many children of Conrad grew up, married, scattered, and prospered until, by the second generation, the two Lebold sons who remained in the valley, Fred and John, had acquired additional adjacent prime bottom Like the Germans from Zoar, the John Lebold family was industrious and loyal.
