Gregg, This page has an index: http://white.ilgenweb.net/probates4347.html check this one too: http://white.ilgenweb.net/probates2244.html There are a couple of books of early wills, and a probate index up to the 1970s. A lot of women didn't have probated estates in that time period, even if it looks like they should have inherited considerable amounts of property.
