Pat , I found the bonds of indenture for my great-grandfather and his siblings in the probate files which the administrator of the estate turned over to the Johnson County, Iowa, court when the estate was closed. These were not the recorded wills, inventories, etc., but loose files of receipts and papers having to do with the estate which were stored in file boxes. Fortunately, these records were microfilmed before they were destroyed. I don't know what the practice may have been in Franklin Cty, IN, but hope this may be of some help. dan_cambridge@cmfz.com
