Hi Lisa!
What an interesting inquiry. I wonder if those wills contain the name
of the city in which the deceased lived? If so, you might try
contacting museums in those towns/cities . . . or a nearby (larger)
city.
(Perhaps the British Museum might provide more options?)
Best of luck with those documents!
Yours truly,
