Schmuel Bick

Brody Josephine Property Survey 1788 mentions only his brother Eyzer (Leiser) Byk @ 1077 and his sons Faybisz (Feiwel) @ 1081 and Moszko (Moses) @ 1082. Since he was one of the wealthiest men in Brody in the mid-eighteenth century, this is evidence that by the time of the survey he was dead.

p.92: R Yehuda Lib Bik's son, Shmuel Bik, was the first to have great businesses. He owned Brewhouse and was a wine trader. In 1765 he rented in a property belonged to the Christians shoemakers shops and warehouses as he scaled and expanded his business. He and his brother R Eliezer already inherited a great property and inheritance issues caused quarrels within the family that lasted till 1772. That year, in a arbitration run by R Tzvi Hirsch and others the two sides were brought to a compromise and thereafter their businesses were run together. Yet from time to time R Eliezer Bik had financial dealings with Poland's nobles, and was lending them large amounts of money. They also had businesses with the Armenian known trader Lashkivitz.

Afterwards R Shmuel and R Eliezer Bik continued their business in partnership.
