I'm looking for wills for the Camden area in South Carolina.  This includes, but is not limited to, Lancaster, Kershaw, Edgefield counties.  Specifically, I'm looking for wills of any Doby or Dobey.   Thank you.

I don't know about a book, but there is a really good database at ancestry.com - South Carolina, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1670-1980:

https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/9080/

From a quick look just at Edgefield County, it appears that there are multiple wills just for Doby.

Could you focus what you are looking for a little better? Name and dates?

If you don't have ancestry.com, I am sure that someone that does would be glad to look for you.
