There was a James Sibold in the 1930 census in Lima, Allen Co., age 76, born 1853 Ohio, living in the household of son-in-law, Charles and Erma Sullivan. Would guess he died in the 1930's. I'm looking for information about his father, James Sibold Sr., who was born in 1789 in VA, and was listed in the 1860 & 1870 census in Jackson Twp, Allen, OH. I believe he died somtime in the 1870s. He was married to Lydia Walton in 1851, and Lydia Sibold was still listed in the 1880 census in Allen Co. The family included: James Sibold b.1789 Virginia Lydia Sibold b. 1832 Ohio James Sibold b. 1852 Ohio John Sibold b. 1852 Ohio Mahala Sibold b. 1854 Ohio Rosette Sibold b. 1856 Ohio Andrew J Sibold b. 1858 Ohio Son Andrew J. was listed as "Seibold" in the 1920 census in Ottowa Twp, Allen Co, OH. Grandchildren of James Sibold Sr include George L. and Carl Sibold born about 1880. From the 1930 census great-grand children include: Boyd b.1912, Robert L b.1920, Betty L b.1921, Carl J b.1925, Erma M b.1926, David W b.1928 James Sibold Sr. was previously married to Elizabeth Sargent or Largent and had sons Ichabod and Israel, they lived in Champaign CO OH and Union Co OH before moving to Allen Co sometime in the 1850's Would appreciate any information on this family. The Israel and Ichabod Sibold families moved from Allen Co. OH to Van Buren Co MI in the 1860s. Israel's daughter Celistia Sibold was my gg-grandmother.
