Some time has passed since you posted your inquiry, so it may be that you have acquired the information you need already.If not, there may be something of use to you in the History of the Buell Family by Albert Welles, 1881.According to him (on p. 339), Samuel Buell Jr. was not an only child.Welles lists 4 children of Rev Samuel Buell and Jane Eliza Wilmer:
David Hillhouse Buell b. 19 Sep 1839, m. to Josephine M. McDougall at Poughkeepsie NY, 2 children:David Hillhouse Buell b. 13 Feb 1866 at Frankfort Arsenal. David graduated from West Point in class of 1861 and in 1865 was a Captain in the US Army.He had a sister Josephine Maria Buell b. 13 Feb 1866, but nothing more is recorded of her. David may be the best avenue for your pursuit, as only the birth of another brother, Richard Hooker Buell at Cumberland MD 9 Nov 1842, is documented by Welles, and the remaining brother William Welmer Buell died before his 2nd birthday.I hope this helps in some way toward conveying Sam Jr. to his final resting place.
