When this Richard Buller dies and leaves his estate to Francis and James Buller (sons of his brother Francis), I am left to think he is the last of his line save his two nephews. Later James died as the last in the line and the properties of this branch passed to John Buller of Morval and he was a younger brother of Sir Richard. However there are a couple of lines not accounted for in the Visitation. Can one assume that they have died out? Possibly not because Francis was the next eldest to Sir Richard followed by John (Mathew appears to have died). I have one line to keep an eye on in the future but I may have answers to that by the next couple of wills in Cornwall.
It really isn't unusual that so many of them did not marry. There was no advantage to them in marrying if they did not have sufficient property to bring up their children in the style to which they were accustomed. However, with the advent of America in the 1600s younger sons could and did go there to make their fortune and even earlier they were involved with the trading companies.
No answers yet on my Buller line but then they are in London in the 1760s and I have not yet reached that time period with these wills.

Will of James Buller Esquire of Shillingham - The National Archives PROB 11/519/409, probated 7 Nov 1711
James Buller (testator) is the brother of Francis-4 and their father was Francis-3 married to the daughter of Sir James Rushout of Maynard's Green in Essex first and second to Mary Maynard and this Mary was the daughter of his stepmother Lady Katherine Maynard (wife of Sir John Maynard). Francis-3 married second to Dame Maynard had suffered forfeiture in 1666 and he had taken refuge with Dame Maynard at this time. Dame Maynard had married her daughter Mary to Francis-4 (eldest son of Francis-3) and settled her estates on this couple presumably thus avoiding forfeiture perhaps due to her marriage to Francis-3 Buller. A very complicated family line although as you write it all down it gradually smooths out.
From the Visitation of Cornwall it is stated that with the death of James Buller the estates mentioned in the Francis Buller wills then passed to the Morval Branch and this was presumably John Buller of Morval and the Isle of Thanet who married first Anne Coode of Morval and second Anne daughter of Walter Langdon of Keverell. I believe that all of the children of John Buller were born of his first wife Anne Coode and included Ann married to George Parker (whose name appears in this will), Thomasine, Elizabeth married to John Worth, Mary married to Thomas Dodson and the heir of John his son John who was MP for E. Looe during Commonwealth. This John was married to Mary Polloxfen the daughter of Sir Henry Polloxfen Knight who was Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. Their children were Mary Ann married to Christopher Harris and John Francis Buller (son and heir) who married Rebecca daughter and coheir of Sir Jonathan Trelawny Baronet and Bishop of Winchester. There is a lot of history in this family and Sir Jonathan Trelawny himself has an interesting history attached to him. John Francis Buller was thus the heir of John Buller married to Mary Polloxfen and his will is included in the group to follow in Cornwall.
The next set of Wills will be the Johannis-1 and Johannis-2 wills followed by the John-1 and John-2 wills and then the will of John Francis. I can not be sure that the Visitations list all children of these families and in particular sons since I am looking for parents for my Christopher Buller in London. Again I do not think this is my particular line; I am more inclined to think that they descend from the Somerset Buller family but for sake of completeness I will continue with my marathon of Buller wills.
