Nel:
For Pittsylvania there is a book named "Accounts Current" which deal with
wills and estates.
Also the estate records are located in the Deed records. Why? Probably they
deal with land
and other property.
Don't know if this will help you to locate estate records in Bedford Co.
Thank you for all your work on the Hatchers.
