There might be history at Suffolk BUT, supposedly, all old records were deposited with the Massachusetts Judicial Archives, on Beacon Hill. These all have been microfilmed and the easiest access is through the Mormon Family History Centers. The MA Judicial Archives does not have research areas, and does not do research for the public. Go to your FHC and find the MA Probate microfilm index that will provide the docket number, etc, and then the actual film it is on. In a message dated 12/12/2009 3:41:16 P.M.
