Jeff,
    My personal preference would be to go to the online  Library of 
Virginia website and find the list of microfilm for that county. Find  the years of 
interest, take down the ordering information and then go to your  local 
library that has a microfilm reader/copier and have them order it for it.  Cost 
should be for postage. Some libraries charge a small handling fee and some  
do not.
    Once you have the film, you may locate other  documents that are 
associated with the estate such as executor accounts,  inventories and so forth. 
Many times these recorded documents will give  information not revealed in 
the will itself.
    You also could go to your local LDS Family History  Library to see if 
the film is housed in their facility. If not, they too, can  order the film 
you need for a small charge which is a bit more than your local  library 
alternative.
Chocy
