The testator Richard-1 Buller is of Long Compton, Warwickshire. He has been married twice and his second wife is Agnes. He has daughters Agnes and Dorothy. He has a brother John Buller and mentions another John Buller of Sutton. He has been very generous with his property and one wonders if these are relatives of his.
I did find an interesting will on line for a William Buller of Kennett (probably has nothing to do with this particular Richard but wanted to put it somewhere where I wouldn't lose it :) ):
June 19, 1719. October 12, 1719. A. 78.
To eldest daughter Hannah Branton, daughter Eliz Buller and 3 sons
Thomas, John and Richard, household goods and wearing apparel as
described. Executors: brother John Buller and son Thomas, son Richard
to be apprenticed.
Witnesses: Robert Stevens, Robert Wry.
