There are many different ways to spell this surname, so let me see if you can follow this.
L + ( a, e, ei, ey, i, ie, y ) + (b, p ) + ol + ( d, dt, t).

THE ITEMS OF INFORMATION CONTAIN DIFFERENCES IN SPELLING THE SURNAME. I HAVE THE REFERENCE TO BACK IT ALL UP. I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF ALL THE N.Y. CENSUS RECORDS OF ALL THE SPELLINGS FROM 1790-1860. I HAVE SOME FAMILY LINES TO PRESENT. ITS LIKE OUR OWN ONE STOP SHOP FAMILY SURNAME HOMEPAGE CONNECTION. I HAVE COPIED ALL VERBATIM AND USE THE SPELLING THAT THE REFERENCE USED OR WHAT WAS ON THE TOMBSTONES OR MILITARY RECORD.

TOP OF THE ORDER,
FIND THE PARENTS OF:

>ELIZAb. 1792

>JACOB LIEBOLT d. 2 June 1865, age 71yr. 8mo. 20da. (so birth is 13 Sept. 1794)
m. Azubah EVELETH 1828, d 6-17-1876, age 69yr. 1mo. 15da., (so birth is 2 May 1807) both buried at Beaver Dams Cemt., NY.
THIS IS MY LINE!!

>ALMIRA b.1794 ( unsure )

>ABRAHAM M. LYBOLT 1796-1868 Beaver Dams Cemt., NY. m. Cynthia Ann WINTON or Cynthia Anna HURD (1796-1883)

>CATHERINE b. 1802 Lansing, NY d. 1872
m. John SUTTON 1826

>SALLY b. 1804
m. Charles PARKER 1825

>HENRY PRATT LIBOLT b. 9 Jan 1807 Orange Co. NY d. 7 Oct 1880
m. Rebecca BARBERA
THIS IS LETA'S LINE

So far the spellings I link to are LYBOLT, LIBOLT and LIEBOLT. So on to the LEYBOLDT connection. Here is why I am heading in that direction. The, or at least a, story is that of a German army officer who came over to the new world with a wife and children. The wife and children die on the ship or at sea. So I traced back my LYBOLT line and got back to a Jacob LYBOLT [ who is buried under the name LIEBOLT] who is/was married to an Azubah EVELETH [ said to be Native American Indian ]. In a Libolt Family Album (I saw at a LIBOLT family reunion in S.D.) it was written that the parents of this Jacob is a Jacob / Lydia LIBOLT, both said to be buried at Dobbin Cemetery, Ontario Co., NY.[ just north of Geneva ]. So I searched for the stone inscriptions / church records of Jacob / Lydia to confirm who they are. I came up with this;.

Jacob LYBOLT d. March 15, 1865 age 84 [1865 minus 84 years = b. 1781]
Lydia LYBOLT d. Dec. 5, 1849 age 58. [1849 minus 58 years = b. 1791]

Book 974.734/S2 K2w;
Reform Dutch Church, Shawangunk, Ulster Co., N.Y.
Married 20 Jan. 1814
Jacob Lybolt & Ledia Jackson

So it turns out that those people buried in Dobbin Cemetery do exits but COULD NOT be the parents of the children at the top of the page due to the birth dates of the children (the last being born 1807) and that an 11year old boy a 1 year old baby girl don’t start families with each other! No other Lybolt's of any spelling were listed in Dobbin Cemetery that I could find.
Anyway, then I researched ship logs, I only found one Jacob LIEBOLT, formerly listed LEYBOLDT when he boarded the ship. Now on this ship there are women and children, but no record of their names or who they are traveling with. The ship arrives at the port in PA. on 22 Oct 1754 with dead, sick and loss of cargo (must have been hell at sea). Now this Jacob may be the founding father to these children but I am missing at least one if not 2 or 3 generations due to his age and the birth years of the above kids. I have other Jacob L-- bolt.'s of that time and have yet to connect them, even with the countless hours I have put in looking at property records, wills, probate records, church records, civil war pension records etc. So if you have any info PLEASE help the effort.

County History Books are a great source of information. Here are a few family accounts that I have found. Please go to County History Pages for the full stories. This is part 2 of the Home Page.
