Massachusetts Probate Records
Massachusetts probate records are maintained by the counties. Each county has an archive of wills, settlements of estate, guardianships, etc. dating as far back as the 1600s. Indices to these probate records can be found in the county probate office, in libraries, and in genealogical societies. Given a "case number" (sometimes called a "file number", or "docket number") the probate office can make a copy of a probate record for a nominal fee (around $5).
You can order these probate records online here though it is generally cheaper to write directly to the county probate office. Addresses and phones numbers for all Massachusetts probate offices are here.
At present, Suffolk, Worcester, Berkshire, Norfolk, Franklin, and Hampshire County Probate indices for Wheelock have been transcribed.
