Bonnie, there wasn't any Bristol County during those years - it was part of Plymouth Colony up to 1685. Abstracts of Bristol County wills from 1687 to 1765 are in print in 2 volumes, by the late H.L. Peter Rounds, published by Gen. Pub. Co. in Baltimore in the 1980s. Abstracts covering a few more years were published, I think, in the journal The Mayflower Descendant, fairly recently -- there weren't enough to fill another volume. Hope this helps somebody.
