Currently in the 7th generation of Lynd apple growers. The 1st, 2nd, & 3rd generations were in southern Ohio. A. T. (Alton Tecumseh) Lynd (4th generation) migrated up from southern Ohio in 1919. He purchased an existing 80 acre farm (mostly already in planted orchard) east of Route 310 and along both sides of Morse Road. This original orchard had been planted in about 1880 so some of the trees were close to 40 years old in 1919. This was a very old and mature orchard and would soon have to be replanted.

A.T. raised six sons on these original 80 acres. Three of the six decided to stay "on the farm" (Alvin, Ed & Arnold), and they made the 5th generation of apple growers. Thus, expansion and more production became necessary in order to support three more families. About the mid 40’s, another 80 acres were added between the original orchard location and S.R. #310.
