Hi, I would like to find a will, or what happened to the farm that Abraham Bryson had... Some history: Abraham Bryson is documented on several US Census as being born in Maryland, in 1800. He married Nancy McKee who was born in Pennsylvania. There is documentation that his first four children were born in Virginia. He is documented moving to Guernsey County, Ohio and then to Vinton County. Abraham Bryson had land (82 acres) in Vinton County. The 1880 US Census showed that he at the age of 80, his son Abraham, John, Harrison, and daughter Louisa were still with him on the farm. Senior Abraham died 20 May 1884. Please guide me to where I need to research for a will and the possible sale of this farm. Thanks Diana Bryson-Brooks
Dear Diana, For Ohio, Last Wills and Testaments are filed in the Probate Court records of the county in which the person held property. The sale of the farm will be listed in the county deed records, in whatever county the land was located. Regards, Natalie Cottrill ProGenealogists, Inc.
