Will of Benjamin Buller of Saint Margaret Westminster - The National Archives PROB 11/610/34, probated 28 Jul 1726

This Benjamin Buller is said to bear arms from the probate but I do not have any ideas on his line. He does name his brothers Richard, William, John and Julian and sisters Frances and Anne. There is also a Sentence for Benjamin Buller dated 28 Jul 1704 which is in latin and a project for the future. His will although dated 11 Feb 1701 was not probated until over 25 years later.

There is a Benjamin Buller on the Visitation but he is a son of John Buller of Lillesdon and Elizabeth Rogers and his father died 12 Jan 1592. Benjamin on the visitation would have been born prior to 1590 as he has a younger brother (likely). The interest that I have in this particular will is the area of Saint Margaret Westminster. This is an area where I have found my Henry Christopher Buller at least on census day 1861. The mystery remains for Christopher Buller (my grandmother's great grandfather). Every little piece fits into a gigantic puzzle but then that is what ancestry is all about fitting in the pieces!

From Find my Past Benjamin Buller is most associated with Suffolk and Halesworth in particular. No record though of him in Boyd's Inhabitants of London & Family Units.
