Thought this could be a possibility to help me out given the time frame (after Christopher Buller was born circa 1673) however the will is for Mary Butler I am fairly sure and will check that out with the National Archives. Handy will though for this family as she identifies her brother and sister who are living in Louth Lincolnshire.Indeed The National Archives has sent me an email stating this is Mary Butler.
