Coffey County Probate Records...[index] http://www.franklincoks.org/index.aspx?nid=428 Complete index of the probate records of Coffey County, Kansas. It gives a date, as well as book and page number of the record. The site also provides information about where to send to get a copy of your specific record, and the costs involved. I think that this is going to be a big help. Scanning through, I found entries of probating out-of-state wills, which I believe will be helpful in tracking where people came and went from.
