Are you having any luck? I was actually thinking older than that. I've looked for probates in Illinois, Pennsylvania & California - all records were held at the county level. The California county had an online index but it was only for more recent years (1985 & greater, I think).
If you google the county's name and "county clerk" I think you'll get the contact info, and details about retrieving from archives.
Also, have you checked familysearch's catalog? They have an amazing number of US probate records.

ooh no Sarah, I hadn't thought about FS.. I know both the Lydall family and the Foulds's were 'money' just seems odd that I can't find any records of wills.. [but maybe they are there, i'm just not looking in the right place + right criteria!]
will have a gleg at FS now..
