Switzerland County

Index to Testators (Wills) through 1880

A Testator is a person who has written and executed a valid will that is in effect at the time of his/her death. This is an index to those wills that were recorded in Switzerland County through 1880. I do not believe all Wills are included, but it does include many and in what book and on what page they are recorded.

Compiled by Charles M. Franklin in 1987 and Published in 1987 by Walter R. Gooldy's Heritage House Publishing Co.
