A biosketch of grandson Noah Lehman [1] reports:
Jacob Lehman, grandfather of Noah, was born in Maryland in 1810, and was sixteen years old when he accompanied the family to Ohio. After his marriage in that county he bought eighty acres of land, with only a few acres cleared and a set of log buildings, and there his good wife went through all the hardships of pioneering, cooking by the open fire and carding, spinning and weaving the cloth for the garments needed to clothe the household. Jacob Lehman's labor was productive in clearing up a farm, but in 1848 he sold his first place and bought another in Beaver Township, five miles north of Columbiana, where he had his home until his death at the age of sixty-five. The maiden name of his wife was Mary Yoder, who was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Brunner) Yoder, both of German ancestry. Mary Yoder Lehman died at the age of forty-four, leaving the following children: Peter G., Nancy, John, Elizabeth, David, Jacob, Joseph and Benjamin, twins, Isaac, Eli, Mary, Leah, Martha and Lydia, all of whom reached maturity.
