This is the will of Mary Buller of Ramsgate, Widow. Discovered it in my set of wills and I remember purchasing it because Christopher Buller's wife was Mary. I read through it but did not transcribe it at the time so will do this one out of order as the next set of wills (only one actually) is for Sussex.
An earlier promotion from the War Office, May 14, 1824 of Edmund Richard Buller, Gent to be Cornet, by purchase, vice Brett and this was in The Connaught Journal Galway. There is mention of Edmund Richard Buller in the Gazette (he was a Lieutenant in the 7th Dragoon Guards to Captain of Infantry by p.).
Again this is not my line at least not directly. Mary Beard Buller died in 1806 and Christopher's second wife was Jane. Their son was Thomas Christopher Buller. All of which I learned after I purchased this will back in 2008.
