Dear Linda,
I don't know much about this family. I would say most Diamonds
were originally Catholic,and the name Dominick would bear this out.
Catholics who went to America early in the18th c. very often fell
in with the majority faith; very few priests to give them church
rites in upstate Pennsylvania or wherever. I know of Diamonds today
in Kilrea, co. Londonderry, and I find in the members list of the
Ulster Historical Foundation this lady who is researching this
family, though she knows about them in the 19th century rather than
the 17th. Though most local Diamonds are Catholic; hers look to be
Protestant.
