Dear Val
Follow this link to Trumbull probate records. 
https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Frecords%2Fwaypoint%2FM934-DSF%3An967832447%3Fcc%3D1992421

Please note that newspapers around this date in this area begin to get very helpful.  Obituaries and death notices begin to get more informational.  Necrology lists begin to appear each January for the previous year.  In many newspapers, each community had a correspondent who reported on the social events of that community.  Often when someone died, a correspondent would note who attended a funeral when they were visitors from out of the community.  Additionally, a correspondent would note members of the community who travelled to attend a funeral of a relative.
