     Name: Jacob DOOM , Sr. 1
Sex: M
Birth: 1750 in Hamburg, Germany 2
Death: BEF. 4 SEP 1798 in Washington Co., Kentucky 2
Will: Probated Sept 4, 1798 3
Residence: Bet. 1785-April 25, 1796 Nelson Co., Ky 2
Note:
Land grants and other records indicate that Jacob Doom was in America earlier than 1781 (the date that family tradition says Henry was believed to have been born on the Atlantic Ocean enroute from Germany).

When Jacob Doom, Sr. died in 1798 in Washington Co., Kentucky, his widow was Abigail Clark. However, because of her age and some other things it is believed that she is not the mother of Jacob's older children. She was probably his second wife. Marriage records have not been found. The family was suppose to have been in Culpepper Co., Virginia before moving to what is now Washington Co., Kentucky. His farm was near what is now Bardstown, Kentucky in Nelson Co. One son, Benjamin Doom, was a successful businessman in Bardstown. He seems to have been the only child to have remained in that area.

A Jacob Doom was in Berlin, Pennsylvania prior to the 1780's. The will of Christian Booger dated 29 July 1779 mentions land bought of Jacob Doom, located in Bedford Co., Pennsylvania.

From Ernest Grand

Jacob served as a sergeant in the Jefferson Militia, Virginia, in July and August 1780 under Capt. Lewis Hickman in actual service on an expedition against the Shawnee Indians in Ohio under General George Rogers Clark. I have a copy of the payroll.

Jacob arrived in Somerset Co., Pennsylvania in 1774-1775. That is from a book about early Somerset settlers.

Below is the Will and the Will Probate of Jacob provided by Barbara Ragsdale:

From Ernest Grand 23 September 2001

Jacob Doom is said to have been born near Hamburg. My researches led me to Homburg Saarland, southern part of Rhine-Palatinate, near the French border, west of Kaiserslautern. People often made confusion between Hamburg, Homberg and Homburg. The folks who arrived with Jacob in Pennsylvania where, the most of them, from that area. The Ankenys' father was born in Lambsborn, 5 miles from Homburg. Others are from places less than 100 miles from Homburg : Yoder (grandfather of Jacob Yoder), Himmelberger (father of Ulrich Heavenhill). A Dohm/Dhom family was in the area, 15 miles from Homburg in the 1600s. So, theses clues make me think that Jacob or his father was from a village near Homburg. This family religion was Lutheran and Evangelish.
