Some probate records will indicate where notices of final estate settlement were posted. Usually one of those is in the county seat, often the courthouse. The other places probably are near to that part of the county where the deceased did business or lived. In some cases that can be a residential clue which can be helpful if other information about residence is not available. The example suggests that the deceased lived fairly near to the county seat–based upon where the notices were posted.
