Jacob Dominick

The line that I have been busy working on lately is the Dominick line. The earliest descendant I have discovered associated with my direct line is Jacob Dominick who settled in Bibb County, AL. I am not sure of his date of birth but he must have died sometime in the fall of 1831. His will is dated September 20, 1831 (Bibb County, AL Admr. Record Bk. D, page 33).

According to Alabama Records, Volume 47, the Alabama State Intelligencer newspaper reported on October 22, 1831 "Died lately near Centreville, Bibb County, Alabama Mr. Jacob Dominick, a worthy and esteemed citizen."

Another record appears in the courts (file #135) dated April 2, 1832 where his wife Catharine Dominick is appointed guardian to his "infant orphan" children (defined as children under the age of 14): Jefferson Dominick, Martin Dominick and Jacob Dominick.

Back to his will. His will references his wife Catherine and the following children:

• Nancy Collier (married to Robert Collier)
• Mahala
• Jefferson
• Martin
• Elizabeth
• Jacob Leonard

His wife, David Kersh and William Frost are named as the Executrix and Executors of his estate.
