Where do I find a will?

[audbr]

Hi can anybody help?

I know John died 18th December 1685 at Boston Massachusetts, various sources give his surname as Audley, Audlin & Odlin!!

I understand he wrote a will one source states that it is dated 6th March 1685 another source says either 5th or 11th January 1685 !!

One of the above sources  states that the will was signed imperfectly 'John Odlin'and a third source states ''John Audley's will was signed imperfectly 'John Odlin'

Can anybody advise where I can find or obtain a copy of this 'will' so that I can see for myself how imperfect the signature is?

Many thanks in anticipation of your help

Boston Mass has a probate court.......    and there is a microfilm index available thru LDS.....

try this site as well>

use the links posted and the site will indicate where one needs to write to or contact etc etc.....   as well there is an Archives in Boston so because of the period you seek the will/probate may be in storage in the latter. .........

good luck with that
