Thanks to everyone who wrote to help me with this, Tim Cathcart was very helpful in straightening me out, it is an estate record, not a will. Thanks for the offer of a pdf file MaryEllen, I found it with Tim's instructions and printed it already. I have already mailed the form and check to the library and hopefully will soon have the papers in hand!! What a great group of people you all are!! Sue Probate Court is where the wills are. You might want to go to www.greenvillecounty.org, then choose departments, H, Historical Records. When the Historical Records page comes up, choose search. It will give you a list. Choose probate court. I found that his will is located in Apartment 41, File # 9. I can email you a pdf of the Index Page. The number for Probate Court is 864-467-7458.

Dillard was the executor according to the information given to me). I checked the Greenville Library website and it says they have wills from 1782-1868, so I am wondering if I can get a copy from the courthouse or if I need to go to Columbia? Thanks for any help in this matter!! Sue Copeland in Warner Robins, Georgia
