I know that there was a will because his son James and son-in-law John McWilliams were co-executors and probate notices were posted in the Daily Argus and Democrat of Madison from June through August of 1860. Where are old Dane County wills and probate records from this era housed today? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
