This is the last of the wills in Cornwall although I did not collect the wills from the 1800s on as I didn't really think this was my line and my Christopher Buller was born circa 1763. Thomazine names her sisters and her nephew. This Thomazine is the daughter of John Buller and Anne Coode. She did not marry. She does not mention any other relatives but is already second cousin to the Shillingham Buller family.
She is sister to Elizabeth Worth, Ann Parker and Mary Dodson. Mary Ann Harris is her niece (daughter of her brother John Buller).
She was named in her father's will (John Buller of Morval and he was married first to Anne Coode of Morval). The fortunes of the Shillingham Buller family passed to John Buller of Morval.
