Bulloch County Wills and Estates Index, 1836-1845

FamilySearch has placed online the digital images of the Court of Ordinary out of Bulloch County, Georgia for the years of 1816-1927. Unfortunately, if you’re trying to find them in the Georgia, Probate Records, 1742-1990 database they also have, they are not yet included (2025). I am creating a simple index for my own usage with the Georgia Wiregrass Genealogies, and the table below reflects this index for the years of 1836-1845, which constitutes the second and third section of film #0057959769. I have included only the type of record, full name, year the record was created or filed, and the image number. You can use the link below to access the free images at FamilySearch. You must be logged into their site to access these images.

The type of records you will find include wills, estate records, guardianship records, slave records, and power of attorney. The estate records is my broad categorization for inventories, sales, slave sales, and affidavits. There appears to be several image scans which were duplicated, and one record is incomplete, that is for the Guardianship of John S. and Wm H. Rawls which abruptly cuts off at the bottom of the page, and does not continue on the next image, even though that is the next sequenced page number.

For ease of usage I have used the image numbers and not the page numbers in the original book. The book binding reflects that this is book 3-A, however, the first interior page has written that this is Book C. Some scanned images in this book have been repeated.

The table below has been sorted in alphabetical order to make finding a name easier for you. Make sure you search for variant spellings of last names… Hendrix for instance, appears as Hendricks also. None of the signatures in this book are original except for the clerk of the Ordinary Court who penned this book.
