Johan Christlieb Zieman was born June 21, 1822 in Unheim, Pomerania, Prussia. In 1830 when he was eight years old, his father died, and his brother Gottlieb took over the family farm.
At the age of 26 he immigrated to Waterloo, Canada, in 1848. It is believed that his mother, Anna, may have accompanied him. If not, she came shortly thereafter.
In 1852 Johann moved to Guttenberg, Iowa, and on March 1, 1854, he married Elizabeth Meier in Garnavillo, Iowa, by Pastor Muller.

In 1868 that was sold and 100 acres in the west half of section 33 was purchased near Farmersburg. In 1874 that was sold and 160 acres was purchased from J.B. McWilliams and another 80 acres and part of a 40 acres from Wesley Smith. Parts of this were sold to their son Albert and some to the Backhaus family.
