NEWTON COUNTY, MISSOURI WILLS Book 1 

It is difficult to determine when this will book was begun, the first few wills were probated in
1872 through 1876 then several wills were recorded beginning in 1840.
It is possible that these later wills were re-recorded due to a loss of an earlier recording.
