Her paternal grandmother was Rebecca Trelawny (b 4th Jan 1696), daughter of Bishop Trelawny, who was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and is immortalised in the Cornish “national anthem” (shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die…). Rebecca was said to be very beautiful. At 20 years old she was obliged to marry John Francis Buller who was badly disfigured by smallpox. Their son, Mary’s father, was James Buller. James Buller held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Cornwall between 1747 and 1765. He lived at Downes, Crediton, Devon and at Morval, Cornwall. John Francis Buller was a direct descendant of King Edward I of England (Longshanks), and therefore, all descendants of Mary Buller are also descendants of Edward I.
