I found a great web-site where I was able to directly pin-point the area in Bibb County where Jacob Dominick and his family purchased land from the federal government. I knew, per the land records I had copies of, that their property was in Township 23-N, Range Number 10-E. I was able to find a map of Bibb County on Marv Hamm's Genealogy Home Page that shows the different townships and ranges. Then, if you click on your ancestor's quadrant, it returns a complete list of the land patents granted in that quadrant. I found my Dominick's in addition to some other family names that have been associated with the Dominicks (Collier, Lightsey).
What a great find!
