Peter Buell died on 8 January 1728/29 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT, at age 84.

Moved to Simsbury in 1670 where he became one of the pioneers and earliest settlers. Peter was awarded portion of Hog's Meadow in the first grants of 1667. He was part of committee of three of the town of Simsbury, granting privileges to Indians to hunt venison. He was a sergeant in the trained band of Simsbury and one of the representatives elected from the town to the General Assembly in 1687.

McCracken asserts that Peter's third marriage was in 1698 not 1699 as entered in Simsbury records. On his third marriage Peter gained control of the estate of Jacob Bissell, Mary Gillett's first husband. When Mary's child by Jacob Bissell, Jacob died at age 16, Peter and Mary presumed that the heirs of the of the young Jacob were his half-siblings, the children of Peter and Mary. In 1710, however, the Buells were summoned into court to account for the estate on petition of sundry Bissell relatives, and the lower court found in favor of the half-siblings of the deceased young man, but on appeal the higher court reversed the decision in favor of the Bissell plaintiffs.

Mary was the daughter of Jonathan Gillett Jr. and Mary Kelsey.
