Probate records [microform], 1819-1867.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/746206609

Probate records can be one or more of the following: wills, order books, appraisements, inventories and settlements. They are filed in the county court generally at the time the death occurred. There may be indexes to the probate records available. Wills record the name of the testator, a list of heirs and bequests, the appointment of executors, the date the will was created, and the signature of the testator and witnesses. Many will books are indexed. Sales and settlements of the estate follow an appraisal and inventory. The sale will record each item sold, its price and the name of the buyer, usually a relative or neighbor. After completion of the sale, the estate is settled. All heirs and their spouses are listed in the settlement. If land is partitioned to settle the estate, those records would be recorded in the deeds.
