Many thanks to Kim Woodhouse, who prepared an index to wills for her personal research, and is sharing it with the rest of us. In fact, she found that none of her family left a will during the time frame involved, but was kind enough to pass her material on for the rest of us to benefit. For sure, if any of you have something like this, I'd be delighted to help it get online. Here is where you will find the new index: http://graingertn.us/detail_wills_1856-1917.php Now some details: This index covers wills during the period beginning November 1856 and going through October 1917, which are contained on the Family History Library film # 968,595. The film itself has an index which you can use to find the correct page number. This online index will let you know if a person of interest to you left a will during this time period in Grainger county. When I had completed the posting of this information, I was very excited to find that someone who is likely a part of my ancestral family had left a will that I didn't know about. So come Monday, it's off to the library to check out the will of Jesse Evans on film! I can't wait. Thank you, Kim. I hope many more will get some benefit, and that many will find something they have to share as well! Mike St. Clair Coordinator - Grainger County Tennessee - USGenWeb/TNGenWeb
