Found this testator, Charles Buller, as the father of The Right Honourable Charles Buller (6 Aug 1806 - 29 Nov 1848) a British barrister, politician and reformer. This Wikipedia article goes on to say that Charles Buller (testator and father of the Charles Buller in the Wikipedia article) was descendant of the Cornish Buller Cornish and married to Barbara Isabella Kirkpatrick. Since the son Charles (person in the Wikipedia article) was born in Calcutta there is perhaps a story about Charles Buller and his wife Barbara Isabella Kirkpatrick not yet written. Charles Buller (testator) can be found on the visitation of Cornwall and Charles as the son of John Buller and Anne Lemon. Charles was the fourth son of John Buller and Anne Lemon. The children listed for Charles Buller (testator) on the Visitation are The Right Honourable Charles Buller MP for East Looe and Liskeard (mentioned in the Wikipedia article above) and Sir Arthur William Buller who was a Judge at Calcutta and he married Maria Templer.
On the LDS website Charles Buller and Barbara Isabella Kirkpatrick were married 26 Aug 1805 at Calcutta Bengal India (Family Search M75002-2). Their son Reginald Buller was baptized 14 Sep 1813 at Morval, Cornwall. He is not mentioned on the visitation. Their son Arthur William Buller was baptized 21 Oct 1808 at Calcutta Bengal India and he was born 5 Sep 1808 (Family Search C75002-2). I couldn't find the baptism for Charles but the Wikipedia article gives him a date of birth of 6 Aug 1806 so presumably he was also born and baptized at Calcutta Bengal India.
The Carlyle Encopledia (edited by Mark Cumming) gives some insight into this family. Their son Reginald was clerk at Troston Rectory (Rector). Charles and Barbara Isabella Buller lived with their son Reginald through the 1840s at the Rectory and apparently early on (February 1840) Isabella had adopted a young girl named Theresa Revis. As well in the book on page 45 is mentioned that Arthur had gone to India in 1848 to pursue his legal career. Charles Buller (testator) died on 17 May 1848, Charles Buller junior died after an operation 29 Nov 1848 and Isabella died 14 Mar 1849 (of grief he says).
