Hi Bob,There is an index to the Rutherford Co., TN record books on the Rutherford Co. Archives website. There is an entry that indicates there was a will - recorded in Book 14, p.251. Looks like it was recorded around 1847. You can write to the Archives and request copies. archives@rutherfordcounty.org They'll mail them to you.
