This will for Henry Buller is similar to the preceding one blogged the day before yesterday. However there was a new admon granted and the details follow. The dates are somewhat confusing and will try to sort that out. There are some subtle differences in the will and some added copy in the margin which makes this will slightly different. It is perhaps the first will written although also carries the "word" copy at the top but this has been rewritten and is not in the original hand of Henry Buller. The year of death is stated in a letter from a William John Morgan as occurring on 1 January 1800 at sea off the Cape of Good Hope.
The reason for the second probate appears in the first probate. This will was not the original official copy of the will and probate was granted on the basis of looking only at his holdings in England with the proviso that at a later date when the will became available the remainder of the will would be executed. It was somewhat confusing because both entries carry the word "Copy" at the top.
The next set of wills are from Somerset and there are eight of them:
