The Buell Genealogy, 1881, by Albert Wells, states, on page 85 [error for 35], that William (3) Buell (Samuel 2, Wm. 1) b. 18 Oct. 1676, married Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Collins. Elizabeth, dau. of Joseph Collier, was born about 1675, ag. 16 in 1691 in the inventory of Joseph Colyer of Hartford. The Goodwins of Hartford by F. F. Starr, p. 67, in list of children of Joseph Collier has only the following on the daughter, Elizabeth—"b. abt. 1675, living 1691." Lebanon Inscriptions (New Eng. Reg. Vol. 74) has "Mrs Elizabeth Buel, wife of Mr. William Buel, Daughter of Mr. Joseph Collier of Hartford" died "Dec. 7 1729 Aged 54 yrs.", which seems to prove that the first wife of William (3) Buell, and mother of all his children, was Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Sanford) Collier.
