Found out that the historical society had rescued probate records for this town when the county was going to throw them out(!) some years before. I hope the county at least microfilmed them. Anyway, one of the curators found an old probate file for me, in their archive. They don't have enough space for an open research room, so they keep everything behind the scenes. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a link to their website.
