- Paul von Buol (born either 1478 or 1481) became, along with his friend Ulrich Campell, one of the regions most prominant men. He was a leading landowner and acted as a chief administrator in Graubunden. In 1526 he attended the religious conference in Ilanz. In 1527, for the first of many times, he can be found mentioned as chief magistrate (Landammann) for Davos district, as such he was a leader in the League of Ten Jurisdictions. He frequently acted as arbitrator (Schiedsrichter) for the community's business, and other, concerns. Paul Buol was often employeed by the French as [Obrist] and judge (Richter) for the Federation's armed forces (B?ndertruppen).
In 1531 he was injured outside of Morbegno (in the Valtellina valley). In 1537 he was "Podest?" (chief magistrate) for Morbegno, etc. In 1550 he participated in a law tribunal in Davos concerning a matter of treason. Paul Buol died on Pfingsttage (Whitsun or May 18) 1567.
He was married twice: first to Anna Mosteiner; his second marriage to Anna Lampert. From these two marriages he fathered 25 offspring; 14 of them left a considerable number of descendants. As a result numerous branches of this family were established. The Buol family is one of only two citizenship enfranchised families in Graub?nden to hold "Pannerherrenamt" (Banneret status) in Davos from 1540 until far into the 18th century.
It is not clear from Tafel 1 of the "Stammbaum Der Familie Buol" which children were from which mother. According to an unknown source (possibly Justin Buol?) his marriage to Anna Mosteiner produced three children, namely: Hans, Elsebet and Fida; and that there were 13 children from his second marriage ot Anna Lampert, namely: Paul, Barbara, Ulrich, Caspar, Meinrad, David, Anna, Maria, Abraham, Salomon, Lorenz, Katharina and Herkules. However, given that it seems likely that Paul and Anna Lampert were married sometime between 1525-35, it seems unlikely that Anna Lampert is the mother of at least several of these children, specifically: Paul, Ulrich and Meinrad, and possibly Barbara. - Norman Lee Madsen, July 8, 2014.
From the "Stammbaum der Familie Buol", by Ant. von Sprecher, 1940:
Paul von Buol: zugenannt der "Lux" geb. 1478. Er war einer der angesehendsten M?nner des Landes. Landammann der Landschaft Davos und Hauptmann oder Bundeslandammann des X. Gerichten Bundes 1527 und seither bis 1565 alternando mit Herr Oberst Johann Guler Diente der Krone Frankreichs bei verschiedenen Kriegsanl?ssen. Letzlich als Oberst Richter der s?mtlichen graub?ndnischen Truppen in franz. Diensten. Gesandter der Republick nach Frankreich. Podest? zu Morbegno 1557. +am h. Pfingsttage 1567. Er war Vater von 25 Kindern, von denen er an die 300 Nachkommen noch erlebte.
Translation of above:
Paul von Buol: called "der Lux" - which was a signifier of status. Paul was born in 1478. He was one of the most respected men of the country. Landammann (Head of something like a congress - in England called moot - of a self-governing distict) of the region Davos, a Captain, and later a Counsellor (Bundeslandammann: a Landammann of a province) for the 10th federal court from 1527 until 1565 alternating with Colonel Johann Guler. Paul served the crown of France on several occasions during wars. Finally, he served as a Colonel Judge of all troops from Graub?nden in French service. Envoy of the Republic in France. "Podest?" (chief magistrate) in Morbegno in 1557. Paul died on Holy Pentecost in 1567 = May 18, 1567. He was the father of 25 children - he lived to see about 300 of their descendants. It is from the three brothers: Conrad, Salomon and Ulrich, that the modern branches of the family Buol in several areas of Graub?nden originate. The male line descendants of the other two brothers: Colonel and "Bundeslandammann" (Counsellor) Paul von Buol and of "Hauptmann" (Captain) and "Bundeslandammann" (Counsellor) Meinrad were extinct already by 1800. By contrast Ulrich and Salomon still have prospering posterity in Davos and St. Ant?nien. (See the chronicles of the family of Mr. von Buol. Tab XX up to and with XXIII by A. von Sprecher von Bernegg.)
From "The Descendants of Isaac Schneider":
Paul von Buol, born 1481, was classed by his contemporary Ulrich Campbell among the most important men of the country. In 1526 he takes part with other aristocrats in the Ilanz religious discussions; 1527 was for the first time, and often thereafter, Magistrate at Davos and as such head of the 10th Judicial District; acts frequently as arbitrator in community and private affairs, also in other parts of the country; 1530 in a revolt - he, together with several others, is fined a large sum by criminal court of Davos. Paul Buol was repeatedly in French service as a Colonel and Judge of the Allied Troops; 1531 was wounded at Marbegno; 1537 was Mayor of Marbegno; died 1567.
