These are a work-in-progress. I will continue adding to the list

*Sometimes what I think is self-explanatory is not. Just in case,
here is an example of how to read these: (Estate of Archibald C.
Adams, Bennet Robberson Exe. and Robert W. Sims Exe., Greene
county, 9 Jul 1844) would mean that Archibald C. Adams is the
deceased, Bennet Robberson and Robert W. Sims are the Executors
of the estate, the case is filed in Greene county courts, and
the paper I found it in is from 9 July 1844. These can be used
to gauge an approximate date of death if none is known, or to
locate which county the will or probate information can be found
in, if surviving. If you are still confused, please don’t
hesitate to email me!
