This part of the old LDS site is the online catalogue which gives details of microfilms which you can order to view at your local LDS library- see here
Looks like there are 6 rolls covering Wills, 1756-1930- unfortunately just a bit too late for the record you are looking for.

Added- not sure if this includes the Will you are looking for- see here

the 2nd 'added' section is an INDEX and not the actual will - I know that stephen is on the index as ive already seen it there but need to see the original will document

It also lists "PCC wills, 1655-1816,"
