Notes for Jacob J. CRIBBS


Jacob was a printer who published the Greene County Gazette in Erie, Alabama,
a town which he pioneered. The paper ran only 2 years. His will exists in the
office of the Judge of Probate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and reads as follows:
"The nuncupative will of Jacob J. Cribbs - Tuskaloosa, Feb'y 10th, 1834 -
Last will and testament of J. J. Cribbs. I bequeath to Peter Cribbs, Senior, my
Father, one hundred dollars, to John my eldest brother one hundred dollars, to
Brother Peter one hundred dollars, to Brother George one hundred dollars, to
Alexander one hundred dollars, Sister Catherine three hundred dollars, Sister
Mary Ann two hundred dollars, Sister Susan two hundred dollars and to Daniel one
hundred dollars and to his three children Adaline, Harvey Hoit [Hoyt] and
Mary Anne Christianna the sum of two hundred dollars to be equally divided between
them, the residue for if there should be any I give to Sister Mary Ann and Susan.
Peter Cribbs, Jr. and Lucy Lavergy signed for Jacob. - Orphans Court April 7, 1834."

The Greene County Democrat, dated November 23, 1933 has a notice to the public requesting
old copies of the paper and states that it was published in 1830 by a "Jacob I. Cribbs"
for three years and then went out of business. The middle initial for Jacob was "J".
