I found that grandson (James Oliver Arnold) of my 3 great grandfather (James Bracy Oliver) had left papers to the library by searching their online site. Turns out their were some great clues in a sort of diary. I would suggest searching the library website with your ancestors name. Would also suggest using googles book search site. You can search your family name and it will show the book your family is in. There is also a link to show which librarys carry the book so you can see if there is anyplace else you can visit. I was able to find marriage record of another ancestor using the google book search. You may know this already but check not just wills but probate records. Good luck.
