Need transcript of Thomas Cheatham will, c. 1858

Thomas Cheatham is said to have died in Bedford County, TN around 1858 with a will, in which he names his siblings, and Gregory step-children. I am in need of a transcript of that will.
Thomas seems to have been in Williamson County, TN earlier and is believed to have married Fanny (Cannon) Gregory, widow of Samuel Gregory, about 1818.

There was another Cheatham, William Cheatham, born 1770-1780 in Maury County who may have been a brother to Thomas, and seems also to have been in Bedford County briefly before settling in Rutherford County. A probable daughter, Permelia Cheatham, born VA 1793, married in Maury County August 18, 1827 to John William Gillespie. Their son, William Cheatham Gillsepie, married in Rutherford County December 23, 1857 to Elizabeth C. Puckett, daughter of Charles Puckett and Elizabeth Akin.

I find this marriage interesting. Charles Puckett was the son of Robert Puckett and Elizabeth RICE from Charlotte County, VA. Elizabeth Rice's sister, Molly, married a CHEATHAM. I believe old William Cheatham, and possibly Thomas, may have been her sons. Quite possibly they're off the Joel Cheatham family in Halifax County, VA.

I descend from Thomas Rice, brother of Molly Rice Cheatham and Elizabeth Rice Puckett.

Thanks for your help!
