This will fits with the will of John Buller (blogged: http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2013/03/will-of-john-buller-esquire-westminster.html)
Frederick William Buller is the son of John Buller and Elizabeth Caroline Buller (second wife) and he was a Major General in the Army born 1778 and died 5 November 1855. He and his wife had a large family which included Frederick Thomas Buller, William Buller, Sir George Buller, John Buller, Charlotte Buller, Caroline (Buller) Lady Poltimore, Agnes and Georgiana Amelia (Buller) Hulse. Mentioned in his will: Major General Frederick Thomas Buller married to Lady Agnes Percy, Reverend William Buller married first to Leonora Sophia Bond and secondly Eleanor Coney, Sir George Buller, General, Commander 1 Battalion Rifle Brigade, Knight of the Legion of Honor and Order of the Medjidie married to Henrietta Macdonald, Caroline married to George Warwick Lord Poltimore, Georgiana Amelia married to Charles Hulse of Breamore.
This is the Buller family of Pelynt and they are descendant of John Francis Buller (he was the grandfather of Frederick William Buller (the testator).
The Buller family has played an enormous role in the military life of the British Isles and I just felt that I needed to do this will just to show how dedicated as a family they were to the United Kingdom. I am still hoping that sometime in the future someone will take on the one name study for the Buller family.
