Will of Anthony Buller, Tayler, Saint Martins in the Fields, Middlesex - The National Archives PROB 11/659/289, probated 25 Feb 1740/41
Anthony Buller (the testator) identifies his siblings Charles, Mathew and Thomasin (married to (unknown) Hancock). He is married to Margarett lately Hart formerly {unknown} and she has a son William Hart a Goldsmith in London. He is executor of the will. He is leaving 500 pounds to his siblings which was a substantial estate already and he left the remainder of his estate to his wife. Margaret is perhaps Margaret Tolleday married to John Hart 25 Aug 1698 at Saint Martin in the Fields. William Hart was baptized 13 Aug 1704 son of John and Margaret Hart at Saint Martin in the Fields and is perhaps the William mentioned in the will as Executor and son of Margaret wife of Anthony Buller.
Anthony Buller married Margaret Hart 25 Mar 1706 at Saint Martin in the Fields, Westminster (M00145-7 Family Search). They appear to have had one child a daughter Margaret baptized 11 Jul 1708 at St Martin in the Fields. I find this Buller to be most interesting as Henry Christopher Buller baptized some of his children at St Martin in the Fields in the 1840s. Looking at Family Search I also found a John Buller married to Martha Wyllett 30 Sep 1659 at St Martin in the Fields. There was an earlier baptism of a William Hart 30 Aug 1703 at St Andrew Holborn son of John Hart.
Interesting entry in British History online 8 Apr 1661 Warrant from Treasurer Southampton to the Clerk of the Pipe for a lease to Francis Buller of the meadow or pasture and Buildings thereon lying in the precinct of the late disparked park of Kerrybullock, co. Cornwall, parcel of the manor of Stoke-Climsland; and of the parcel of underwood growing on the farm ground called Kerribullock Park; the lease to be for one life in reversion of John Buller and Anthony Buller at a fine of 20 l. and under the old rent of 8 l. 2 s. 0 d. and 12 l per annum de incremento, payable to the Receiver of the Duchy of Cornwall.
Anthony is a rather unusual forename in the Buller family thus far and this could merit further investigation; possibility of sons not mentioned on the Visitation.

Will of Husey Buller, wife, of Downes - The National Archives PROB 11/945/349, probated 20 Feb 1769
The testator Husey Buller is the first wife of James Buller of Downes (married 8 Dec 1762). She was the daughter of Thomas Gould of Frome and died 26 Sep 1768 aged 31 years according to the Visitation. She had two sons James Buller married to Anne Buller (daughter of William Buller, Bishop of Exeter) and William Buller who marrked Caroline Buller (daughter of John Buller of Bake). This the Buller line that was at Pelynt. John Buller second son of John Francis Buller and Rebecca Trelawny. This John Buller was married twice and the mother of Caroline was Elizabeth Caroline Hunter daughter of John Hunter (second marriage) with his first marriage having been to Mary St Aubyn daughter of Sir John St Aubyn, Baronet. It is this first marriage that the first Buller will transcribed in this large set was from and that was Sir Edward Buller and his daughtger Anna Maria married to James Drummond Elphinstone were his heirs.
This was a second marriage for Husey as her first marriage was to Nicholas Gould of Frome Billet, Stafford and she is said to be of Milbourne Stileham, Bere Regis. They married with consent of parents 19 Sep 1757. The witnesses were Thomas Gould and Ann Gould. The marriage was at West Stafford. Looking up in Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, Volume 1, Thomas Gould Esquire was of Milborne St Andrews and Frome Bellet, J.P. and D. L. and he married in March 1728 Mary the daughter of Will Freke and they had the following children: John, William, George, Hubert, Nicholas, Robert Freke, Husey, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret and Jane. It would appear that Nicholas Gould was a first cousin once removed to Husey and considerably older than her. No children were mentioned in Burke's Gentry.
In the will Husey (this surname also has a history in the family in that the grandfather of Thomas Gould (father of Husey) was John Gould Esquire of Upway and Frome Bellet, lieutenant colonel in the Dorset militia and he married in 1655 Sarah the daughter of Hubert Hussey Esquire of Sydling, Dorset) mentions her two sons William (the eldest) and Francis. In the Visitation these sons are named William and James (perhaps he was James Francis).
