Gates County Wills

A selection of county records container lists are available in PDF format. As records series are arranged and described, additional container lists will become available. Since 1760, original wills were under the jurisdiction of the county in which it was probated. Prior to 1760, wills were filed with the Secretary of State and are maintained with these records. When an individual died without a will, the probate of their estate is maintained in separate Estate files.
