He was born 15 Feb 1678/9. (see “The Griswold family: England-America, Vol. II, p 28) David Buell was prominent as a military man and was known as "Major David". The following document, with its antiquated phraseology, may have some interest for the descendants of Major David Buell and it is therefore subjoined. It was found among the State Papers at Hartford. To the Honorable, the Governour, and General Court now setting at New Haven, October ye 21st, 1741: These come to inform you, that I lately received an order from his Honor, ye Governour, to lead the second company of soldiers in Killingworth ( it being ye Seventh Company in ye Seventh Regiment ), to ye choice of a Captain and such other officers as should be needfull: and according to said order, upon ye 21st day of this instant, October, I led ye said Company to ye choice of a Captain, and Lieutenant. John Stevens was chosen Captain by a great majority, by fourty-six votes and ye other votes were but five, and it seems to be good satisfaction of said Company, and I pray that he may be Commissionated accordingly. “ Certifyd by us, David Buell, Major Daniel Redfield, Clerk” Major David died on February 25, 1749 at the age of 70, in Killingworth, Connecticut. His son, Jedediah, was administrator of his estate. He received L50/5/7 for administrating the estate. An inventory of Major David’s personal property and real estate was taken on April 17, 1749 and March 1, 1750, the total coming to L1474/1/5. The following items were found on the inventory of Major David: a Bible, a psalm book, dictionary and a law book, a silver hilt sword and belt, all the tools belonging to the wood turning trade, oyster rakes, and a black slave named Frank. Before Major David died he gave a tract of land to his son, Jedediah. The rest of his real estate and personal property was divided between his wife and daughters and the children of his daughter, Sarah, who died before Major David.
