To the best of my knowledge there is no county staff that will copy and mail out copies of wills. If a trip to the courthouse is not feasible and if you would consider hiring a paid researcher, you could contact the St. Lawrence county historical association for a referral. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
