Luttrell - Littrell

Robert Luttrell of Luttrellstown, Ireland

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

     1.  Robert1 Luttrell was born before 1390 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland, and died 1436 - 1437 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.  He married Ann Courtenay de Ashbourne1 in Ireland, daughter of Sir Elias de Astbourne.  She was born in Devonshire, England, and died Unknown in Luttrellstown, Ireland.

 

Robert Luttrell of Luttrellstown Castle, Luttrellstown (the estate was most of Clonsilla parish, from the River Liffey to Clonsilla Church), between Clonsilla and Lucan, W Co. Dublin

 

Robert was a man of substance, and was employed by the Crown in the responsible position of collector of the subsidy in the Castleknock district. He inherited property, including Kindlestown, in the County Wicklow, from Sir Elias de Ashbourne, (Knight of Devon) who has been mentioned in connection with Knocklyon in the parish of Tallaght, and who appears as a witness of the transfer of the Salmon Leap property to Simon Luttrell.  (Source:  Ball, Francis Elrington, A History of the County Dublin, This work covers almost all of Dublin and was originally published in six volumes (1902-1920).  The people, parishes and antiquities from the earliest times to the close of the eighteenth century.

The Robert Luttrell who settled on the banks of the Liffey near Dublin at Luttrellstown, was in 1226 treasurer of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and in 1236 was Lord Chancellor of Ireland. There is mention of a Michael Luttrell, who owned the same estate at the close of the century, and later in 1349 of a Simon Luttrell, who died in the possession of the property.  The next owner whose name we have is Robert Luttrell, who married a daughter of Sir Elias de Ashbourne, of Devon, England, and by this marriage added materially to his already large estate.

[Marcine's Note:  This would have me believe that Simon Luttrell who had the estate in 1349 could be a father or grandfather to this Robert who married Ann de Ashbourne.  The Michael could be Simon's father and the Robert found here in 1226 could be the immigrant ancestor to Ireland.]

 

I have seen Ann Courtenay de Ashbourne listed as Margaret DeAshburne on Martha Wilson's genealogy, 20211 SW 85th ct, Tualatin, OR 97062 USA  moka_joka@yahoo.com

    

Children of Robert Luttrell and Ann de Ashbourne are:

      2             i.   Hugh2 Luttrell, born in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland; died Unknown in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.

+    3            ii.   Christopher Luttrell, born circa 1400 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland; died April 1455 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.

 

 

Generation No. 2

 

     3.  Christopher2 Luttrell (Robert1)1 was born circa 1400 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland, and died April 1455 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland2.  He married Catherine Rochfort3,4 circa 1420 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland, daughter of Thomas Rochfort.

 

There is some confusion here as to who succeeded Christopher after his death in 1454-1455.  Was it Richard or Thomas?

 

In "History of West Virginia and It’s People," it states that Christopher was succeeded by his son Richard who married Margaret FitzLyons, daughter of Patrick FitzLeons.  (1)

 

However, in "A History of the County Dublin" it claims that his son, Thomas, succeeded him.  It also states that Thomas was only 19 at the time of his father's death in 1454 which would make his date of birth around 1435 and that he was already married to Ellen, daughter of Philip Bellew.  At the age of 51, he is still alive with another comment, "In 1486 we find him filling the office of sheriff of his native county...." so we know he didn't pass away at least until after then. (2)

 

It also further states that in 1527 Thomas (who married in 1506) appeared as a plaintiff in a suit in the Common Pleas in connection with the property inherited from Sir Elias de Ashbourne. (2)  [This is no doubt the property that Robert Luttrell inherited through his wife, Ann Courtenay de Ashbourne, daughter of Sir Elias de Ashbourne]. 

 

"A History of the County Dublin" indicates that Christopher was succeeded in order of generations, by Thomas, Richard, then Thomas.  And that Richard’s son, Thomas, was married in 1506 "when he can have been little more than a youth."  Doing the math you can assume that Thomas' son Richard could have been born around the time when Thomas was only 19 (i.e. about. 1454-55).  This would allow for Richard to father Thomas as early as 1475 but since we know that he "can have been a little more than a youth" in 1506, it must be assumed that Thomas was born much later.  So it is reasonable that this could be true.

 

I then looked to the other possibility of Christopher Luttrell being succeeded by his son Richard who had married Margaret FitzLyons, daughter of Patrick Fitz-Leons, Esq., and they had a son, Sir Thomas who became the chief justice of Ireland. (3)

 

To do any confirmation at all, requires some dates of reference of which the "History of West Virginia and It’s People" offers none.  So I then turned to the other document, A History of the County Dublin for dates to work with.  Working with the dates of 1454 (Christopher's death) and 1506 (Thomas' marriage) you have a difference of 52 years.  If Thomas was only 10 years old (remember he was a youth) at the time of his marriage, then he could have been born in 1494 - this narrows the time range to 40 years.  As has been seen in the past, many men have married more than once or married a younger wife and had several children well into their aged years.  So this hypothesis is not unreasonable either.

 

With this lack of information, I had to conclude that either could be true and therefore chose the path that most others had chosen, the Christopher to Thomas, to Richard, to Thomas.

Child of Christopher Luttrell and Catherine Rochfort is:

+    4             i.   Thomas3 Luttrell, born circa 1435 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland; died after 1486 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.

 

 

Generation No. 3

 

     4.  Thomas3 Luttrell (Christopher2, Robert1) was born circa 1435 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland, and died after 1486 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland5.  He married Ellen Bellew before 1454 in Ireland, daughter of Philip Bellew.  She was born WFT Est. 1423-1465, and died in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.

 

Robert was succeeded by his son Christopher Luttrell, who died in 1454, and the latter by his son Thomas Luttrell, who was stated at the time of his father's death, although only nineteen years of age, to be married to Ellen, daughter of Philip Bellew. In 1486 we find him filling the office of sheriff of his native county, and a reference to the rejoicings on the occasion of the marriage of a daughter of the house of Luttrellstown (when more than forty archers attended to support the bridegroom, and many citizens came from Dublin), shows the esteem in which the family was held by the other inhabitants of the English Pale.

 

The bridegroom was one Nicholas Travers, than whom amongst all the multitude at that wedding we are told, there was not a taller or better bowman, and it is probable from this alliance between the house of Travers and of Luttrell that Sir John Travers of Monkstown, who is frequently mentioned in connection with their affairs, was a near relative of the Luttrells.

 

Thomas Luttrell was succeeded at Luttrellstown by his son Richard Luttrell, who married Margaret, daughter of Patrick FitzLyon; and the latter in his turn by his son Thomas, who adopted the profession of the law and was one of the most distinguished members of the family.

For a quarter of a century after Thomas Plunkett's death in 1519, Dunsoghly castle was occupied by his son, Christopher. As he was old enough when his father bought Much Cabragh to understand the effect of the purchase, he must have been at least 50 years of age when he succeeded to the castle, and he had been long married, and had children of mature years. His wife was a daughter of his father's colleague, Philip Bermingham, chief justice of the king's bench, and by her he had three sons, the eldest of whom, maintaining the legal tradition of his family, adopted the Bar as his profession.

 

Before 1547 Dunsoghly castle had passed to Sir John Plunkett, chief justice of the queen's bench, as Christopher Plunkett's eldest son became in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and was his chief residence until his death. In the last decade of Henry the Eighth's reign there is an indication that John Plunkett was well known to those in high places, and not long after his succession to Dunsoghly he appears at the right hand of Edward the Sixth's lord deputy, Sir Edward Bellingham. His post was hardly one that an embryo judge would now fill, and his chief duties seem to have been the provisioning and furnishing of the houses occupied by the lord deputy and his retinue.

 

While the lord deputy was in the country he writes as an expert on the quality of beer to him, and in the same letter he promises to use his best efforts to procure for the lord deputy's retinue beds of the first quality in place of some which had been rejected on the ground that they were unfit for the lord deputy's servants, much less for his gentlemen.

 

But during the reign of Queen Mary, John Plunkett is mentioned frequently as acting on commissions of a legal character, and in 1556 he appears as a member of the Irish privy council. In the latter position he was continued on the accession of Queen Elizabeth, and before she had been 12 months on the throne he was raised to the chief seat on the common law bench.

 

Although it is not uncommon to find leading men in the Pale adapting themselves to the revolutions in Church and State which the 16th century witnessed, yet Sir John Plunkett is an exceptionally striking example.

 

In the reign of Edward the Sixth he was one of the few Irish officials privileged to approach the Lord Protector, and was entrusted with the duty of providing for the spiritual care of his own parish; and in the reign of Queen Elizabeth he was prominent in the government of his country, and enjoyed the close friendship of her chancellor, Archbishop Loftus, the chief ecclesiastic of the Established Church, who refers to him after his death as "the good Sir John Plunkett."

 

But notwithstanding these indications of his attachment to the reformed faith, he was not only appointed by Queen Mary a member of her Irish council, hut was also admitted to her presence and given by her a grant of lands on more favourable terms than had been originally proposed.

 

In regard to the affairs of State as well as of the Church he saw eye to eye with the English government. In the winter of 1562 he was one of the three members of the Irish council sent to discuss with Queen Elizabeth the state of Ireland, and he displayed then such zeal for the English interest that her secretary assured him on his taking leave that he would be one of the first remembered for reward. When the controversy arose in regard to the cess the only land-owners in Dublin county, who approved of its imposition, were he and Sir Thomas Fitzwilliam, of Merrion, who was his cousin; and not long before his death he was commended by Archbishop Loftus to Sir Francis Walsingham for the "hearty service and great friendship" which he had always extended to "their whole nation."

 

Of his discharge of his judicial duties no knowledge is available, but the assistance which he gave in the government of Ireland was of great value, and drew from successive chief governors high praise. In the year 1565, after the battle between Ormond and Desmond at Affane, he was for many weeks at Waterford with Lord Justice Arnold, inquiring into the origin of the encounter; and at the close of the year 1567, when he received the honour of knighthood, he was sent with the Bishop of Meath, under a guard of 50 horse, to Munster, where he remained for several months settling the country after the Desmond confiscations. On that occasion his justice and incorruptibility were eulogized by Lord Justice Fitzwilliam and his successor Lord Deputy Sidney, and a few months before his death, in 1582, an effort to obtain some token of the queen's recognition of his long service was made by the Irish government, but met no substantial response.

 

At the time of his death Sir John Plunkett had attained to a very great age. Three years before he is said to have been so blind as to have been scarcely able to see his food, and for some months before his death he was known to be dying. His later years were clouded by attacks made upon him by a step-son. He had been married three times: first to Catherine Luttrell ; secondly to Elizabeth Preston; and thirdly to Genet Sarsfield.

 

Genet Sarsfield, who is said to have been married five times, was, at the time of her marriage to Sir John Plunkett, the widow of Sir Thomas Cusack, sometime lord chancellor of Ireland, and the attacks made upon him came from her son by that marriage, with whom he had long litigation.

 

In regard to these he wrote thus two years before his death to Sir Francis Walsingham.

 

"Truth urged me to visit your honour with those few lines, where I am informed Edward Cusack alleged my book concerning his proceeding contained but lies. I assure your honour every article therein in pith and substance is most true. I look not to live to write any untruth willingly, 'laudanti se videntur deesse vicini,' yet in truth a man may be his own herald. I have served my sovereign, beginning the first Michaelmas term of her Highness's reign to this present, and God be praised, uprightly, without respect to the contrary, and now to fail were too late."

 

As he mentions in his will, Sir John Plunkett received with his last wife "no small commodity," but although "he laid thereunto so much of his own," he says that he was "nothing the richer." His references to silver vessels, gilt, partly gilt, and ungilt, show that his cupboard was as well furnished as that of his grandfather; and a chapel adjoining Dunsoghly castle, another adjoining the church of the parish, and a chamber built over a mineral spring in the village, testified to his large ideas and piety. The chapel adjoining the castle lies to the south, and is an oblong building, 21 feet three inches by 12 feet three inches, the plainness of which is relieved by the doorway and the windows. The doorway is in the north wall, and as a tablet with the initials " I. P. M. D. G. S.1573," records, it was the work of John Plunkett, knight, of Dunsoghly, and his wife Genet Sarsfield. It is round-headed, with neat mouldings and a bold hood. Under the hood are a rose and fleur-de-lis, which were possibly intended to be symbolic of the Virgin, "the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley," and above the hood there is a well-cut slab showing the instruments of the Passion; those in the centre, namely the handle of the scourge, the spear, and the hammer, with the heart, the hands, and the feet, were probably originally of metal set in the existing stone.

 

Of an east window only the round-headed splay remains, but, owing to its having been built up inside, a window to the west, of two lights with a thin shaft and segmental heads, is in good preservation. Besides these windows there are two smaller windows in the south side, and there are ambries at both ends of the north wall.

 

As in the case of the blind Lord of Howth, pride in his family and interest in the past were prominent in Sir John Plunkett's character. In regard to the first trait, it is related that he was very angry when a representation of his arms was blown down in Christ Church Cathedral, and in his will he is careful to emphasize his descent from the noble house of Killeen by large bequests to the churches with which that house was connected; and in regard to the second trait, it is recorded that it was from chronicles belonging to him that part of the "Book of Howth" was compiled, and his active support was given to the first proposal for printing the statutes of Ireland.

 

Of his office he was not a little proud, as a bequest of his judicial gown "furred with madder" shows; arid the fact that Dunsoghly was held from the Crown by royal service, and that it fell to his lot to contribute three archers to the muster, was to him, no doubt, a source of gratification.

 

As a neighbour at Dunbro, Sir John Plunkett bad a leading gentleman of the Pale, Mark Barnewall, a great-grandson of Sir Nicholas Barnewall and Ismay Serjeant of Castleknock. Their son Edward married a daughter of his stepfather, Sir Robert Bold, by a previous marriage, and is said to have been the first of his name seated at Dunbro.

 

He was succeeded there by his son Robert, who married Elizabeth Shelton, and was the father by her of Sir John Plunkett's neighbour. Mark Barnewall resembled in character Sir John Plunkett, being, in the words of Archbishop Loftus, " a very godly and honest man," and married a lady who had been previously wife of a son of Sir John Plunkett. He is mentioned first in connexion with the military expeditions against the Scots and Shane O'Neill, in which he served either in person or by deputy, and later on he appears on a mission to the English court on behalf of the Earl of Clanricarde.

 

But at the same time his own services were considered worthy of recognition, and he is found in correspondence with Lord Burghley about lands in county Kildare which were granted to him, together with a commissionership of the muster in Dublin county.

 

After Sir John Plunkett's death Dunsoghly came into the possession of Sir Christopher Plunkett, who was his grandson. He has been described as "an eminent and gracious lawyer," but he has left no mark in his professional capacity, and ire is now remembered as one of the leading landowners of the Pale in the reign of James the First.

     15.  Honorable Sir Thomas5 Luttrell (Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1) was born before 1496 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland11, and died 1554 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland12.  He married (1) Elizabeth Bathe1213, daughter of Sir William Bathe.  She was born in Rathfeigh, County Meath, Ireland, and died Unknown.  He married (2) Anne Aylmer1415.  She was born circa 1505 in Lyons, Kildare, Ireland, and died before 1599.

 

The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Luttrell, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland, as he became, was a typical example of a gentleman of the English Pale of his time. In spite of the centuries which had elapsed since his family first settled in Ireland and of constant intercourse in his youth with the Irish, which is shown by his knowledge of the Irish language, he remained ever true to the interests of England, and looked upon Ireland, outside the small extent embraced in the Pale, as a foreign country. (1)

 

At the same time the long separation of his family from England caused him to have little in common with the inhabitants of that country, and to take what may perhaps be described as a parochial view of English policy. Notwithstanding the residence in England necessary for his admission to the legal profession, during which he must have made acquaintance with many of English birth, his relatives and more intimate friends all belonged to the small community within the Pale. (1)

 

One of his sisters was married to Sir Patrick Barnewall of Turvey, who, like himself, was a lawyer and became Master of the Rolls, and another married as her first husband Nicholas Barnewall of Drimnagh, and as her second Sir John Plunkett of Dunsoghly, who was also a lawyer and became Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. (1)

 

Of his two brothers, Robert, who was Archdeacon of Meath, never married, but the other, Simon, a merchant and alderman of Dublin, took as his wife a daughter of the house of Bathe. Both Chief Justice Luttrell's own wives-for he was twice married-were also taken from old Pale families, one being the daughter of Bartholomew Aylmer of Lyons, and the other the daughter of Sir William Bathe, of Rathfeigh. (1)

 

Of Luttrell's early life little is known. His first marriage appears to have taken place in 1506, when he can have been little more than a youth, and in 1527 he appears as plaintiff in a suit in the Common Pleas in connection with the property inherited from Sir Elias de Ashbourne. (1)

 

In 1532 his talents first received recognition from the Crown in his appointment as Solicitor-General and King's Serjeant in Ireland, and in 1534 he was promoted to the Bench as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas a position he filled until his death twenty years later. (1)

 

He was an active member of the Council, in which capacity we find him accompanying Lord Deputy Grey on his expedition to meet Tirlagh O"Poole, and on another occasion taking charge of Dublin in the Lord Deputy's absence; and it has been stated that he was instrumental in securing the preservation of the public records in a place of safety. (1)

 

When the Commission presided over by Sir Anthony St. Leger was sent to Ireland in 1537 by Henry VIII., Chief Justice Luttrell was one of those called upon to give evidence. He urged the desirability of restraining the defenders of the Pale in their exaction's, which he feared would soon reduce the Pale to the same condition as the rest of Ireland, where obedience to their Prince was only feigned; the necessity of subduing their nearest enemies, the Kavanaghs, O'Tooles and O'Byrnes; the danger of employing Irish soldiers; the advantage of a Lord Deputy of English birth but with long tenure of office; and, with reference to the inhabitants of the Pale, the benefit of making the English dress and language, as well as knowledge of the use of the bow, compulsory, of expelling Irish bards and musicians, of preventing the return of Englishmen to their own country, and finally, of printing the statutes, a work only now about to be accomplished. (1)

 

Some letters from Chief Justice Luttrell written about this time are still extant; in one of these he refers to the capture of his relative Aylmer of Lyons, by the O'Tooles, and says that a ransom will have to be paid for his release; and in another he mentions the recent "ruffling time" with O'Neill, and says that rents will be slowly paid, as the farmers, whose services saved the Pale from utter destruction, are all lying out in camps. (1)

 

In the latter letter the Chief Justice also mentions the dissolution of the religious houses, by which he profited. St. Mary's Abbey had owned from the time of its foundation the lands of Coolmine, in Clonsilla parish, and in addition had obtained in the fifteenth century lands in that parish which had belonged to the Priory of Little Malvern in England. (1)

 

Of the latter lands Chief Justice Luttrell was tenant at the time of the dissolution, and doubtless then became owner. In addition he received grants of other monastic property, including some of the possessions of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, to which he had acted as legal adviser. (1)

 

The estate which he had inherited from his father was no inconsiderable one, and must have been of material assistance to him in professional advancement. Of this we catch a glimpse in the rare and much. prized goshawk sent by him as a present to Mr. Secretary Cromwell. (1)

 

At the time of his death Chief Justice Luttrell was possessed of much personal as well as real property, and shortly after his death the Crown applied to his executors for the loan of what was then a very large amount of money. (1)

 

He kept open house in the castle of Luttrellstown, and entailed on the future owners certain property for the maintenance of hospitality there, together with the use of a basin and ewer of silver, a silver gilt salt cellar and cover, a dozen spoons, and a chain of fine gold of twenty links - articles of no small value as is shown by their weight in ounces, which the Chief Justice sets forth in his will. (1)

 

His death took place in 1554, and he was, doubtless, buried according to his directions, "honestly but without pomp," in Clonsilla Church, which he directed should be extended sufficiently to admit of a sepulchre being made for him on the north side of the new part. (1)

 

He must have, at any rate outwardly, adopted the reformed faith, but his belief in its creed did not prevent his leaving money for the preferment in marriage of maidens of his kin in the hope of obtaining salvation for himself and his brother Simon. (1)

 

Besides providing for the extension of Clonsilla Church he left money for the repair of the chancel and also for rebuilding the bridge at Mulhuddart. He left six sons and three daughters, one of whom was married to Luke Netterville of Dowth, who became one of the Justices of the Queen's Bench, and another to Thomas Dillon of Riverston. Another son, Richard, had predeceased him, leaving a daughter, for whom the Chief Justice made provision. (1)

 

The Chief Justice was succeeded by his eldest son Christopher, who however survived him only a short time, and two years after the Chief Justice's death, in 1556, his second son, James, was in possession of Luttrellstown. (1)

 

However, a manuscript I have on the Luterel-Baron Luterel lineage indicates that Thomas' oldest son, Richard was still alive and succeeded him.  It further indicates that Richard Luttrell, Esquire, married Mary, daughter of Lord Dunsany, and widow of Thomas Plunket, Esquire, of Rathmore, and by her had two daughters and one son.  The two daughters being Anne who died unmarried and Elizabeth who married Sir Christopher Nugent in 1601 and the son, being Thomas who married Eleanor Preston and succeeded him. (2)  I must now wonder if this is the correct Richard to tie into this line especially since the marriage to Eleanor Preston is even in question.  And by Ball believed to be Eleanor Cheevers instead.

 

In that year the latter was Sheriff of the County Dublin, and in the expedition against the Scottish invaders was ordered to serve in person as well as to contribute four mounted archers His death, which took place in 1557, was, like that of his brother, premature. In his will he appears in a very pleasing light as a landlord, leaving legacies to those who had taken pains in the cultivation of the Luttrellstown lands, and mentioning that he had given leases in one case because the tenant had long served his family, and in another because the tenant's house and goods had been burned. (1)

 

He married, the year before his death, a sister of one of his neighbours, Sir William Sarsfleld, of Lucan - a lady remarkable for having no less than five husbands, of whom Luttrell was the second. By her he had a posthumous son, who only lived three years. (1)

 

On the death of this infant, Luttrellstown passed to the Chief Justice's third son, Simon Luttrell, from whom the subsequent owners were descended. Of his three younger brothers the eldest, Robert, settled at Tankardstown, in the County Meath; the second, John, who died in 1620 and was buried at Clonsilla, resided at a place called Killeigh; and the third, Walter, matriculated in 1572 at Oxford University.

     27.  Simon6 Luttrell (Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1)24 was born circa 1548 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland, and died Unknown.  He married (1) Gaydon.  She died Unknown.  He married (2) Elizabeth Finglas.  She died Unknown.

 

Simon Luttrell was only a youth at the time of his father's death, and six years after he succeeded to Luttrellstown, in 1566, he entered Lincoln's Inn as a student. He soon settled down to the duties of his position, and we find him acting as a Commissioner for the muster of the militia and sending two archers to the hosting against Shane O'Neill, and three to the hosting at Tara Hill.

 

He was twice married, his first wife being a Miss Gaydon, and his second, who survived him, being Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Finglas. Besides his eldest son Thomas, he left several children, including a daughter, who married Nicholas FitzSimons of Baldoyle, and a son Nicholas, who died in 1610.

 

In the previous year the latter made a will in which he mentioned that he had intended "to apply his study towards Oxford, then after to the Inns of Court," but that through want of means "he had altered his course" and intended to go into other countries "where he might attain the faculty of physic".

 

Luttrellstown was then considered one of the principal castles in the County Dublin. It had been, no doubt, enlarged several times, and in his will Simon Luttrell, when directing that for some years the timber at Luttrellstown should not be cut, excepts such as should be required for the building, as well as the expense of the house.

 

In his son's time we read of the great gallery furnished with cupboards and iron-bound chests in which the family papers were kept, and of the dining room with its tapestry hangings. There was then a mill in full working order on the lands, and at least one other house of considerable size besides the castle, within the parish of Clonsilla.

 

This house was occupied by a first cousin of the Chief Justice's, Nicholas Luttrell, who appears from his will, made in 1568, to have been a man of good position, possessed of flocks and herds and much household goods, including plate, which he divided amongst a somewhat numerous family.

 

The next owner of Luttrellstown, Thomas Luttrell, the eldest son of Simon Luttrell, was returned in 1613, with his relative Sir Christopher Plunkett of Dunsoghly, as Knight of the shire for the County Dublin, and took a prominent part in public affairs as one of the leaders of the Roman Catholic party in the House of Commons.

The Chancery Court handled civil disputes for all of England and Wales. Its records are now held at the National Archives of the UK and begin in the late 14th century. In 1875 this court became the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. Therefore, records for the Chancery Court exist from the late 14th century to 1875.

     37.  Richard7 Luttrell (Robert6, Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1) was born circa 1559 in Tankardstown, (6 miles East of Navan), County Meath, Ireland26, and died October 1633 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland.  He married Anne (Mary) Cusack circa 1627 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland27, daughter of Robert Cusack.  She was born circa 1551 in Cussington, County Meath, Ireland, and died Unknown.

 

LDS Ancestral File submitted by Elizabeth Whitten, 720 Giles Drive NE, Huntsville, AL 35801.  I have also seen Richard Luttrell's birth listed as circa 1602, in Tankardstown, Meath, Leinster Province, Ireland.

 

Marcine’s Note:  How can Anne have children as late as 1634 when she was born in 1551?  She would have been 83 years old!  Plus she would have been 77 years of age when her first child, Oliver,  was born.  I am positive I have a generation missing here.

    

Children of Richard Luttrell and Anne Cusack are:

      41           i.   Oliver8 Luttrell, born circa 1628 in Tankardstown, (6 miles East of Navan), County Meath, Ireland.

 

Notes for Oliver Luttrell:

Forfeiting proprietor in 1654, Oliver was the father of five sons.

 

+    42          ii.   James Luttrell I, born circa 1630 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland; died 1698 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland, Virginia.

      43         iii.   Jane Luttrell, born circa 1632 in Cocklestown, Ireland.  She married Rowland Plunkett; born in Cocklestown, Ireland.

 

Per Lewis E. Roberts, Jr., 12014 NE 140th St., Kirkland, WA  98034 - 20 May 1990 letter:

Walter Luttrell, 20, was "licensed to go beyond the seas" and on 2 May 1635 was transported from London to Barbados in the 'Alexander', Mr. Gilbert Grimes under Captain Burke.  Of interest, there were also aboard Edward, 20; Thomas, 28; and Rowland 18 Plunkett.  The name, Rowland Plunkett, has been documented as the husband of ...Jane Luttrell, daughter of Richard Luttrell and Anne Cusak.

 

      44         iv.   Mary Luttrell, born circa 1634 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland.  She married George Bathe; born in Edickston, County Meath, Ireland.

 

 

     39.  Thomas7 Luttrell (Simon6, Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1) was born 1576 - 1580 in Luttrellstown, Ireland, and died November 12, 1634 in Luttrellstown, Ireland28,28.  He married (1) Lady Eleanor Preston (or Cheevers)29,30,31,32 1605 in Luttrellstown, Ireland33.  She died before 1616 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland34.  He married (2) Alison St. Lawrence 1616 in Ireland.  She was born in Ireland, and died Unknown.

 

The next owner of Luttrellstown, Thomas Luttrell, the eldest son of Simon Luttrell, was returned in 1613, with his relative Sir Christopher Plunkett of Dunsoghly, as Knight of the shire for the County Dublin, and took a prominent part in public affairs as one of the leaders of the Roman Catholic party in the House of Commons. (1)

 

He was one of those who in 1605 signed the petition from the Roman Catholic lords and gentlemen of the Pale, and his action at that time led to his confinement in Dublin Castle, and to a recommendation from the Lord Deputy that on account of his obstinacy in refusing to make any acknowledgement of wrong doings he should be sent into England. (1)

 

He was foremost in the contest for the Speaker's Chair in 1613, and was one of those who went on the Roman Catholic deputation to James I. He had incurred the bitter enmity of Lord Deputy Chichester, and owing to the allegations which the Lord Deputy made against him was thrown into the Fleet Prison in London and kept a prisoner for eleven weeks. (1)

 

The rapid changes of that time soon brought him into favour again. In 1627 he was returned as one of the men of fair estate in the English Pale who were fit to be placed in command of a troop of horse, and in 1634 he was again elected as one of the representative's of the County Dublin, and was present at the opening of Strafford's first parliament. (1)

 

A few months after that event, in November 1634, he departed this mortal life, as a funeral entry informs us, and after a considerable interval necessary for the preparation of a stately funeral was interred in Clonsilla Church. (1)  Thomas Luttrell died 12th Nov 1634, buried Clonsilla Church, [Ball, vol.4, 1906] references his will and funeral entry. Alison fl 1663. (2)

 

Thomas Luttrell, a prominent Roman Catholic, was twice married, his first wife being in 1605 to Eleanor Preston [according to Burkes Extinct, daughter of the Earl of Gormanston (2) (3), but, Ball, vol.4, 1906, says she was Eleanor Cheevers, daughter of John Cheevers] (2), by whom he had two sons, Simon and Stephen. 

 

Another source seems to confirm the Preston marriage.  "Thomas, son of Richard Luttrell, had the audacity to make a comparison with the Earl of Thomond, the Chief of the O'Briens, in the Lord Deputy's presence. He married Eleanor Preston, daughter of Christopher, fourth Lord Viscount Gormanston, by Catherine, daughter of William Fitz-William and had a son, Simon." (4)

 

Thomas Luttrell's second wife was Alison, daughter of Nicholas, twenty-first Baron of Howth, by whom he had also two sons, John and Thomas. (1)

 

Besides sons he had a number of daughters, one of whom married William, third Viscount Fitzwilliam, of Merrion. Another married Walter Goulding. His provision for his second wife, who survived him, and for his children, indicates that the wealth of the Luttrells had not decreased in his hands. To his widow he left, in addition to her jointure, Diswellstown, in the parish of Castleknock, as a dower house; and besides much plate and household stuff he bequeathed to her twenty great cows with their calves, three hundred sheep, six rams of the English breed, and fifteen farm horses, as well as her riding horse and three horses to carry the servants in attendance upon her. (1)

 

His eldest son, to whom lie bequeathed his signet ring and gold chain, besides his furniture and the greater portion of his plate, succeeded under settlement to all his lands, but in consideration of the fatherly love and affection which he bore to his younger children he had laid up for them in the iron-bound chests in the gallery of Luttrellstown a great store of silver and gold, out of which they were to be paid substantial legacies in current English money. (1)

Notes for Alison St. Lawrence:

While staying at Howth Chichester referred to Nicholas as an old man who could not live long, and in less than two years his death took place. It was announced by Chichester on May 11, 1607, and his funeral is recorded in Ulster's office to have taken place at Howth 10 days later. His second wife survived him for a short time, until July 25, and proved his will. It had been made nine years before, on March 20, 1598, and shows that family affection was one of his attributes, and that his married life was happier than that of his father, or, as will be seen, than that of his son. He left, besides his heir, a younger son, Thomas, by his first wife, and three sons, Edward, Richard, and Almeric, by his second wife. He had also four daughters: by his first wife, Mary, who married William Eustace of Castlemartine; and by his second wife, Margaret, who married first Jenico, Viscount Gormanstown, and secondly Luke, Earl of Fingal; Elinor; and Alison, who married Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown.

 

His successor, Christopher, had shown himself, as we have seen, before the close of Queen Elizabeth's reign a brave soldier, but had displayed the impetuosity and recklessness of character which are so often united with courage its the Irish race.

     42.  James8 Luttrell I (Richard7, Robert6, Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1) was born circa 1630 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland, and died 1698 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland, Virginia.  He married Susanna (Tullos?) in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland, Virginia.  She was born circa 1634 in Tankardstown, County Meath, Ireland36, and died before 1714 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland, Virginia.

 

We know that James Luttrell was first transported to Virginia from a land grant given to Laurance Robinson for the transportation of 27 persons including James Latterell.  Later Daniell Selby of Somerset County received 50 acres on June 15, 1678 for transporting 15 people into Maryland.  James Loterill was one of them.  He had to have returned to Virginia sometime later.

More About James Luttrell I:

Immigration: circa 1661, From Ireland to Maryland, then Northumberland, Virginia

 

Susanna was James Luttrell's second wife.  She immigrated to Maryland in 1667.  It is believed, but not documented, that James Luttrell married Susanna Tullos, daughter of Claudious Tullos and Sarah Rodham, however, I checked the Tullos GenForum and their data on Susanna do not show her marrying a Luttrell.   (Susannah TULLOS b: February 06, 1671/72 in Northumberland County, Virginia, married (1) John HUGHLETT, (2)  Joseph FRANKLIN).

    

Children of James Luttrell and Susanna (Tullos?) are:

+    57           i.   James9 Luttrell II, born circa 1682 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia; died Unknown in Northumberland County, Virginia.

      58          ii.   Thomas Luttrell, born circa 1685 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.  He married Elizabeth Hayfield June 13, 1734 in Maryland.  Thomas Luttrell was a warden in St. Anne's Parish, Maryland.

+    59         iii.   Esquire Richard Luttrell, Sr., born circa 1687 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia (or 1685 in Westmoreland County, Virginia  which was created in 1653 from Northumberland Co.); died May 25, 1766 in Fauquier County, Virginia.

+    60         iv.   John Luttrell I, born November 10, 1691 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia; died September 26, 1729 in Northumberland County, Virginia (have also seen 1761).

 

 

     47.  Simon8 Luttrell (Thomas7, Simon6, Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1)37,37 was born 1600 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland38, and died 165039,39.  He married Mary Preston40 1634 in Gormanston, Meath, Ireland, daughter of Jenico Preston and Margaret St. Lawrence.  She was born circa 1600 in Dublin, Ireland (Have also seen circa 1611 & 1629)41, and died Unknown.

 

Troublous times fell to the lot of his eldest son, Simon Luttrell, who succeeded him, and who lived to see Ireland under the rule of the Parliament. He was thirty-four years of age when his father died, and had maintained the traditions of his family by his marriage to Mary, daughter of Jenico, fifth Viscount Gormanston, the widow of one of the Luttrell's near neighbours, Sir Thomas Allen of St. Wolstan's. (1)  I have seen where his wife is listed as Janice but believe that the reading of Jenico is to be blamed.  "He married Janice, daughter of the fifth Viscount Gormanston, a cousin, and had sons: Simon, Henry, Robert. The last named was the founder of the American family." (2)  Whoever was the daughter of the fifth Viscount of Gormanston, that is whom he married. 

 

In 1643 he was returned to the dying Irish parliament at a by-election as member for the borough of Navan, and in the following year he waited upon Charles I. at Oxford.  (1)

 

Simon, son of Thomas and Eleanor (Preston) Luttrell, was made a gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles the Second. (2)  However, according to History of a Noted Irish Family, it states that it was Simon's son, Thomas, who was made a Gentleman of the Bedchamber not Thomas' son Simon. (3)

 

Two years later, in 1646, he entertained the Marquis of Clanricarde at Luttrellstown, while the Marquis was carrying on the negotiations between Ormonde and General Preston, who had advanced as far as Lucan with the army of the Confederates. (1)

 

His death took place about 1650, and he left several children, including his heir, Thomas Luttrell, but it was some time before the latter enjoyed the estates to which he had succeeded. (1)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There is NO DOCUMENTED PROOF to show that Esquire Richard Luttrell, Sr. was fathered by James, b. about 1631 in Tankardstown, Ireland nor is there any proof that Robert, b. between 1645 - 1655 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland is his father (the other assumption).  What I do know is that I have a Richard Luttrell born 1685 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, with another birth date of 1687 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland, Virginia.  Is there actually two Richard Luttrell's here? I believe so.  Since James is listed as dying in Northumberland, VA, it seems more likely that he is the father but he would have been quite old when Richard as born (age 56).  I'd be more likely to suspect that I've got a generation missing there.

 

But in defense of Robert, his son, Simon, died in Westmoreland County, VA which is the other county I'm working with.  Robert would also have been younger and sound more likely.

 

The most common "assumption" is that Richard is the son of James and therefore I've decided to link him as such only until I can find proof to show it differently.

By grant of 12 March 1722, the Proprietors of the Northern Neck of Virgina conveyed unto "Richd Lutterall" of Stafford County, a track of 354 acres of land lying on "Brent Town Run" in Stafford County, Virginia; and, by subsequent grant of 7 July 1745, Lord Failrfax conveyed unto Richard "Lutteral" of Prince William County, a track of 58 acres of land adjoining the "said Lutterall's other land on a drain of Town Run."  By deed of 26 November 1760, recorded in Fauquire County, Virginia, Richard Luttrell acquired from George Crump a track of 240 acres of land on a branch of Negro Run, which was granted to John Crump by the Proprietors of the Northern Neck on the 29 July 1745.  By deed of 26 November 1760, Richard Luttrell, Sr., of Fauquire County, conveyed to his son, Samuel Luttrell, 70 acres of the 350 acres acquired from the Proprietors, as above shown.

 

Stafford County was erected in 1664 from Westmoreland; King George was taken from Richmond County in April, 1721; Prince William, embracing parts of Stafford and King George , was made a county in March 1731; and Fauquire County was erected from Prince William on 1 May 1759.

 

Among the tax payers of Elk Run and vicinity in 1751, as shown in Bulletin #3, Page 239, of the Fauquier Historical Society, appears the names of Richard Luttrell, Richard Luttrell, Jr., and William Luttrell. "This William Luttrell is no doubt the son of John and grandson of Old Simon of Westmoreland County.  Richard Sr., and Simon were brothers, sons of Robert Luttrell."  [Haven't found proof of this]

 

By a deed of November 26, 1760, recorded in Fauquier County, Virginia, Richard Luttrell acquired from George Crump a track of 240 acres of land on a branch of Negro Run, which was granted to John Crump by the proprietors of the Northern Neck on July 29, 1745.  By a deed of November 26, 1760, Richard Luttrell, Sr., of Fauquier County conveyed to his son, Samuel Luttrell, 70 acres of the 240 acres acquired from the Proprietors.  In his will recorded in Fauquier County, on September 10, 1764, Richard lists his eleven children:  James; Michael; Samuel; John; Richard; Anstiss; Mary; Susanna; Robert; Catherine; Sarah.  The dates of their births are not known but his youngest daughter Sarah must have been close to 18 years old for a specific young bay mare to be held for her.

Notes for Mary Dermont:

The Dearmont/Luttrell connection is also being researched by:  Sceletta (Murphey) Shell, genquestlady@aol.com; Dan Bell, dbell@badsector.com; Michelle Dillon, mdillon@cannet.com and Julie Schmees, 4xj@comcast.net.

 

The 1730 Will of Michael Dermont from the Library of Virginia, Burned Record Counties Collection, dated 3 Feb 1730, probated 18 Apr 1733 names Richard Luttrell's children leaving one to believe that they are related in some way.

 

"...Catherine and her heirs forever and in case she dies without heirs that then the said land be equally divided between Richard Luttrells children namely Catherine, James, Richard and Michael Litterals.

 

Item I give and bequeath unto my daughter Catherine a certain piece of land from the White Oake Cabbin branch to the Long Branch going up to Tobias Woods on the east side of Town Run to her and her heirs forever and in default of such heirs to fall to my son Michael and if he dies without heirs that then said land to fall to the aforesaid Catharine, James, Richard and Michael Littrell..."

 

I have seen Dermont/Dearmond/Dorment, Dunsany and Lawrence as possible last names of Richard's wife.  All we seem to know for sure is that in his will he lists his wife as Mary.

    

Children of Richard Luttrell and Mary Dermont are:

+    69           i.   Michael10 Luttrell, Sr., born 1720 in Fauquier County, Virginia; died March 16 - August 24, 1778 in Fauquier County, Virginia.

      70          ii.   James Luttrell49, born 1726 in Fauquier County, Virginia; died 1743 - 1816 in Knox County,Tennessee.  He married (1) Mary50. 

 

James Luttrell shows up on the 1770 and 1777 Fauquier County, Virginia Rent Rolls.  By a deed of December 19, 1766, recorded in Fauquier County, Virginia, John Luttrell conveyed unto his brother James Luttrell, a parcel of land formerly belonging to Richard Luttrell, deceased; and, thereafter, James Luttrell and Mary, his wife, "of Fauquire County, Virginia," by deed of November 19, 1782, conveyed unto Charles Waller 147 acres of land, "being part of a larger tract formerly belonging to Richard Luttrell, Sr.," which he, in his life time, gave by deeds of gift to his sons James Luttrell and John Luttrell, which deeds are of record in Prince William County, and also part of a larger tract belonging to Michael Luttrell, deceased, which he conveyed unto James Luttrell by deed ofDecember 22, 1766.  [Source:  Allied families of Read, Corbin, Luttrell, Bywaters.  Compiled by A.M. Prichard, Staunton, Virginia, 1980, Page 202]

 

James was also a veteran of the Revolutionary War and received a pension (#6585) for his service.

Notes for Catherine Luttrell:

Catherine Luttrell/Lutterell about 1741.  Champe died in 1787 in Fauquier Co. Virginia. Descendants moved to Grainger, Knox County, Tennessee.

 

Per Julie Schmees, 4xj@comcast.net

"I did just run across information in John Alcock's book Fauquier Families 1759-1799, pg 76 which states Catherine Coram (Richard's Luttrell's daughter) She, widow of Champ, and Richard & Sarah Coram mortgage, then sell Willliam Allason 227 a. where they live; in fork of Town and Middle Runs; bequeathed by PW will of Michael Dermont to Catherine Luttrell, now Coram; wit incl Champ and William Coram.

 

The above would indicate that Catherine Luttrell Coram is relation to Michael Dermont (grandaughter)?"

     64.  Thomas9 Luttrell (Simon8, Thomas7, Simon6, Thomas5, Richard4, Thomas3, Christopher2, Robert1) was born after 1634 in Ireland, and died August 1674 in County Dublin, Ireland.  He married Barbara Segrave62.  She was born after 1590 in Parish of Finglas, Ireland, and died Unknown.

 

Luttrellstown was too attractive a possession to escape the eyes of the new rulers of Ireland, and was quickly seized upon as a country residence, like Monkstown by Edmund Ludlow, by one of the authorities of the Parliament, Colonel John Hewson, who had been appointed Governor of Dublin. Hewson, once an honest shoemaker in Westminster, had served in the Parliament army from the beginning of the Civil War, and was one of the most unrelenting of the regicides. (4)

 

He had come to Ireland with Cromwell, under whom he commanded a foot regiment, and was subsequently employed in the civil government of this country. He occupied a seat in the House of Commons, for some time as representative of Dublin, and was called by Cromwell, who conferred on him knighthood, to his House of Lords. (4)

 

Hewson was at first given Luttrellstown on lease, but in 1659 he was granted it in fee farm, together with an immense extent of lands in the County Dublin, estimated to comprise nearly 7,000 acres. He spent much of that year in England, and at the time of the Restoration, when Hewson was obliged to fly to the Continent, Sir William Bury appears to have been in temporary occupation of Luttrellstown. (4)

 

Sir William Bury, who belonged to a Lincolnshire family of that name, came over to Ireland as a member of Henry Cromwell's privy council, but continued to serve after the Restoration for a time, and is remarkable for having received the honour of knighthood both from Henry Cromwell and from the Lords Justices appointed by Charles II. (4)

 

At that time Luttrellstown is described as a great mansion house with twelve chimneys, surrounded by offices, and having near it a malt house, a barn, and two stables. All the buildings were slated, and the exceptional value of £1,000 placed upon them shows their large extent. (4)

 

Besides pleasure-grounds and ornamental plantations there were in the demesne a garden and no less than three orchards for the provision of the house, and two quarries for the supply of stone. There were also attached to the house a corn mill and a cloth mill, as well as a weir for catching salmon on the Liffey. (4)

 

In the grange of Clonsilla there were a thatched house with offices, and another mill surrounded by an orchard and grove of ash trees, and upon the other lands belonging to the Luttrells a second thatched house of smaller size and about twelve cottages. (4)

 

The only lands in the parish of Clonsilla which did not belong to the Luttrells were those of Coolmine, and Hartstown and Castaheany. The lands of Coolmine, which after the dissolution of St. Mary's Abbey, had been successively granted to Walter Peppard and the Earl of Thomond, had before 1641 come into the possession of Sir Edward Bolton, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and on them were stated to be a thatched house with two stone chimneys, besides a barn, a stable, and several small cottages. (4)

 

The lands of Hartstown and Castaheany belonged to the Barnewall family, and on them there was no building. Shortly before the Restoration the population of the parish was returned as forty-two persons of English birth and eighty-seven of Irish, the principal inhabitants besides Sir William Bury being Richard Broughall, who lived in the Grange, and James Russell, who lived on the lands of Coolmine. (4)

 

During the Commonwealth the Luttrells resided in Dublin, and before the Restoration, Thomas Luttrell married a lady belonging to a very old Dublin family, Barbara, daughter of Henry Sedgrave, of Cabra, by whom he had three sons, Simon, Henry, and Thomas. (4) 

 

About the time of the Restoration, Henry Segrave's death took place, and at Finglaswood, in the following October, his widow, Alice Noble, made her will. In it she-bequeathed to her sons sacramental plate, some of which was in the hands of the priests, and farm stock at Finglaswood to her unmarried daughters, Alice and Elinor, houses called the Saracen's Head and the Horse-shoe, with a horse "to carry them on their journey and up and down"; and to her married daughters, Jane, wife of Benedict Arthur of Much Cabragh, and Barbara, wife of Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown, some of her mugs and other jewels.'(5)

 

Owing to the influence of the Duke of Ormonde, whose friendship the Luttrells enjoyed, Thomas Luttrell was one of those mentioned by name in the Act of Settlement as deserving of restoration to his estates, and in 1663 the Commissioners of Settlement directed that he should be placed in possession of them. (4)

 

At the same time the widow of his grandfather, Thomas Luttrell, the Knight of the shire for the County Dublin, who stated that she had been a great sufferer by the Rebellion, and that she had maintained her husband's younger children with motherly care, proved herself an innocent Roman Catholic, as did also her son Thomas, the only surviving son of her husband, who mentioned that he had been partly educated in England, and who settled in the County Westmeath.  (4)

 

Some years later the owner of Luttrellstown took part in a remarkable duel, in which the principals escaped without hurt but the seconds sustained serious injury. Not long before his death, which took place in 1673, his son Simon was in the matrimonial market, and an agent of the Legge family, who was on terms of intimacy with the elder Thomas Luttrell, the uncle of the owner of Luttrellstown, tried to arrange a match between Simon Luttrell and a Miss Legge. (4)

 

There seems to be some question as to who was the father of Henry and Simon who fought for King James II in the war with Prince William of Orange.  Was it Simon or Thomas Luttrell?

 

In an article published in a magazine in Ireland called THE SHAMROCK, it states, "When Simon Luttrell died in 1650, his son Thomas, who would have inherited Luttrellstown, was practically outlawed by Cromwell's government. On the death of the protector he availed himself of the Act of settlement, which was passed as soon as Charles II ascended the throne. The new King Charles II, did him the honor of making him a Gentleman of the Bedchamber, in addition to which he enjoyed the estate of Luttrellstown to the end of his days. Thomas Luttrell died in 1674, leaving four sons, the two eldest of whom, Simon and Henry Luttrell, were destined to have remarkable careers.  At an early age these two young men served in the French army, and Simon Luttrell, the elder, attained the rank of Colonel." (1)

 

This seems to also be confirmed in Notable Southern Families, however, it gives one conflicting statement.  "He [Thomas] was succeeded by his son, Simon Luttrell, who was a gallant officer under King James II, and was a member of the Irish Parliament of 1698 from County Dublin and was appointed Military Governor of the City of Dublin.  He was succeeded by his brother, Henry Luttrell, who was also a gallant soldier and became a Major General."(3)  If Simon did indeed die in 1693 in the Battle of Lindon,(2) then there is no way that he could have been a member of Parliament in 1698.(3)  But was this the same Simon who died in 1693?  We know for sure that he had died by June 1699 when his brother, Henry, wrote to the Lord Lieutenant regarding his brother's widow, Catherine (Newcemen) Luttrell's, return to Ireland.(1)

 

If this is indeed the same Simon, then the date of 1698 must be incorrect.  This would seem true according to the article in the Shamrock Magazine.  "In the parliament of 1689 Simon Luttrell sat as one of the members for the County of Dublin, and Henry Luttrell sat as member for the County of Carlow."(1)  It could be quite easy for a person to transpose the date from 1689 to 1698, therefore, we can with some confidence assume that yes, this is the same Simon.  With this determined, we know then that we are not talking about two separate families.

 

So then where does the conflict of Simon being the father come into place?  In the book, The History of West Virginia and It’s People, it indicates, "Simon, son of Thomas and Eleanor (Preston) Luttrell, was made a gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles the Second.  He married Janice, daughter of the fifth Viscount Gormanston, a cousin, and had sons: Simon, Henry, Robert. The last named was the founder of the American family.  Simon and Henry, sons of Simon Luttrell, were both prominent in the war between James the Second and the Prince of Orange, Simon at that time being the governor of the city of Dublin."(2)  However, the wife's name of Janice has been questioned as Mary instead with her father being Jenico, fifth Viscount Gormanston. (4)

 

So we find that Simon and Henry definitely descend from Simon, the son of Thomas and Eleanor (Preston) Luttrell. The question remaining is whether they are the children of Simon or the grandchildren of Simon through his son Thomas.

Children of Thomas Luttrell and Barbara Segrave are:

      91           i.   Thomas10 Luttrell63, born in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland; died 1688 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland.  Assassinated for high treason in 1688.

      92          ii.   Simon Luttrell64, born before 1654 in Luttrellstown, Dublin, Ireland; died 1693 in the Battle of Lindon, in the French army.  He married Catherine Newcomen August 1672; born in Ireland.

 

Colonel Simon Luttrell was a man of handsome stature at the time he entered into possession of his ancestral estates, and although a match with Miss Legge had not taken place he had found a wife in Catherine, daughter of Sir Thomas Newcomen of Sutton. Her mother was a sister of Richard Talbot, Earl of Tyrconnel (A tombstone in Clonsilla Churchyard bears the following inscription: - "Here Lyeth ye Body of Frances Lady Newcomen, Wife to Sr. Thomas Newcomen of Sutton & Daughter to Sir William Talbot of Cartown Barronet, who deceased Feb. ye 17 1687."), but Miss Newcomen had been brought up as a Protestant, and the marriage was celebrated first by a clergyman of the Established Church, although subsequently by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. (3)

 

Colonel Simon Luttrell appears for many years to have suffered from ill health. In a letter written by him in London on Christmas Eve, 1688, to the young Duke of Ormonde, he states that he had been sick for ten years, and had symptoms of paralysis. (3)

 

He had not been in Ireland for eighteen months, and on the strength of the friendship shown his father by the Duke's father and grandfather, begged the Duke to obtain license for him to go abroad, where he said he desired to be out of the way until things should come to a settlement, and where, if his health permitted, he would seek military employment. (3)

 

Not many months later he threw in his lot with James II., and in September, 1689, we find him in Dublin, of which he had been appointed Governor, busily preparing the city against the danger of invasion, and "chaining up the streets and making breastworks in order to secure that naked place." (3)

 

In 1688-1692 the following Warrens of the Pale, were in King James's Irish Army: Thomas Warren, of Warrenstown, Co. Meath, Captain; and Michael Warren,(*) of Warrenstown, Co. Meath (d. 1712), Ensign in his Company in the King's Regiment of Infantry, which, together with the Regiments of Fitz-James, Lord Galway, Col. John Bourke, Sir Maurice Eustace, Col. Ramsey, Col. John Hamilton, Lord Gilmoy, Lord Abercorn, James Preston, Viscount Gormanstown, Colonel Dominick Sheldon, Col. Charles Cavenagh, and Col. Simon Luttrell, constituted the besieging forces at Derry and Limerick, at the Boyne, and on the fields of Aughrim and Cavan. (4)

 

He raised a regiment of dragoons for James, and was appointed by the latter Lord Lieutenant of the County Dublin, which he represented in James' parliament, as well as a privy councillor. He appears to have gone to France before the battle of the Boyne, but returned to Ireland for a short time during the siege of Limerick. He died abroad in 1698. (3)  However another source indicates he died in 1693 killed at the battle of Landen commanding an Irish regiment in foreign service.  (1)

 

His widow survived him until 1704, and the year before her death married as his second wife the father of the eccentric Thomas Armory, the author of the "Life of John Buncle, Esq." (3)

 

To Colonel Simon Luttrell's confiscated estates and possessions his brother, Colonel Henry Luttrell, whose life, both public and private, brought his family into great disrepute, succeeded since Simon had no issue. (3)

 

Simon and Henry, sons of Simon Luttrell, were both prominent in the war between James the Second and the Prince of Orange, Simon at that time being the governor of the city of Dublin. At the close of the war Simon chose to go to France with other Irish soldiers, and afterwards commanded an Irish regiment in foreign service. (2)

It is believed that Michael's wife is Dinah Shumate, the daughter of Daniel Shumate, however, I have found no proof to document this.  I did find a Power of Attorney for Samuel Luttrell and wife Dinah requesting Samuel Shumate to represent them regarding Daniel Shumate's estate.  This leads me to believe that Samuel Luttrell’s wife is Dinah Shumate.

 

Another problem I have with this family is that Dinah had children very late in life and a census I found for daughter Hannah (the youngest) indicates she was born in 1790 which is after Dinah has died.  So the dates are definitely in question for this family.

    

Children of Michael Luttrell and Dinah are:

Richard is designated as "Jr." in his father's will and also in a judgment which he recovered the 29th of August 1760, against FRANCIS BURGESS, [Fauquire Minute Book, 1759-63, Page 98], as well as in the following commission of which the original is in the possession of JOHN AUGUSTINE ADAMS LUTTRELL.  [Source:  Allied families of Read, Corbin, Luttrell, Bywaters, by A.M. Prichard, Staunton, Virginia, 1930.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In another letter written to Mrs. A.M. Prichard on the 20 Mar. 1927, Mr. John A. A. Luttrell said:  "The Richard Luttrell Jr., commission was given to me by my father for the reason that I seemed to him the only child the least interested in Family History.  I think it came down from each generation perhaps to the oldest son or to the one who administered the estate.  It is in very good condition.  He once had as well, a commission signed by Jefferson naming the same Richard, Governor of the County of Illinois, and I remember when a kid my father showed this one to a relative visiting from Missouri--well it was never seen after that.  I have never looked up any records on this item, so never quoted it as a fact as I had no proof of it."

 

On the 18 Jan. 1928, Mr. George L. Osborne, Librarian of the Illinois State Historical Society, wrote:  "I have no record of Richard Luttrell being appointed as Governor of the Illinois County."

 

The Commonwealth of Virginia

To Richard Luttrell, Jr., Gentlemen, greetings:

Know you that our Governour on recommendation of the Court of the county of Fauquire hathe constituted and appointed you Ensign of a Company of Militia in said County.

In testimony whereof these our letters are sealed with the seal of the Commonwealth and made Patent.

Witness, Thomas Jefferson, Esquire, our said Governour at Richmond, the 25th day of October in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty. 

{Seal} Thomas Jefferson

As early as 1760 Richard Luttrell, Jr. shows up in Fauquier County, Virginia per his judgement above.  This would be around the time that Fauquier County was formed, May 1, 1759, from Prince William County and in 1770 and 1777 he shows up on the Fauquier Rent Rolls.  He is found in Culpeper County by July 31, 1797 when he witnessed the will of Joseph Pitts [Culpeper County, Virginia, Will Book D, Page 208], and of course on April 24, 1819 when he made out his own Will. 

 

Here is the big question for the family, I'm not sure if this is the correct Richard Jr. to connect to Richard Sr., who lived in Fauquier County, Virginia.  Richard Sr. indicated in his Will, "ITEM I give to my son Richard Luttrell my new patent of land containing 58 acres of land whereon he now lives."   This is the land indicated below of 58 acres.

 

[By grant of 12 March 1722, the Proprietors of the Northern Neck of Virgina conveyed unto "Richd Lutterall" of Stafford County, a track of 354 acres of land lying on "Brent Town Run" in Stafford County, Virginia; and, by subsequent grant of 7 July 1745, Lord Fairfax conveyed unto Richard "Lutteral" of Prince William County, a track of 58 acres of land adjoining the "said Lutterall's other land on a drain of Town Run."] 

 

Prince William county was created in March 1731 embracing parts of Stafford and King George Counties.  Fauquier County was created in May 1, 1759 from Prince William County.  So it is quite likely that Richard lived in the same general area being born in Stafford County in 1730 then in 1731 being listed in Prince William County and later in 1759, being rezoned into Fauquier County without doing a lot of moving.  But Culpeper County was cut off from Orange County in 1749 and to be shown living there, he would have had to move and most likely sell his land on "Brent Town Run" Fauquier County and purchase land in Culpeper County. 

 

Unless I can find something to tell me that Richard, Jr. sold this land (and purchased land in Culpeper County), I can't come out and say that the Culpeper County, Richard Jr. and the Fauquier County Richard Jr., are the same person since in Richard Jr.'s Culpeper County, will, he didn't leave the Fauquier County land to any of his heirs.  If I can find a land sale showing that he sold the land, then it might be a possibility, but I can't even find that. Let us not forget that there is another Richard Jr. and Sr. living in Westmoreland County at this very same time and I believe all the Westmoreland Luttrell's descend from Simon and Robert.

 

To also confirm that this might be the Westmoreland branch is a notation in Bulletin #3, Page 239, of the Fauquier Historical Society, where the names of Richard Luttrell, Richard Luttrell, Jr., and William Luttrell appear.  "This William Luttrell is no doubt the son of John and grandson of Old Simon of Westmoreland County.  Richard Sr., and Simon were brothers, sons of Robert Luttrell."

Notes for Dinah Shumate:

HOW CAN DINAH HAVE A SON WHEN SHE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD!!!!  She has to be born closer to her husband's date of birth (1730-1740).

 

Marcine's Note:  I think I may have the answer to this problem.  It is not proven but is feasible.  I show that Samuel was also married to Annis Crowther.  If she were his first wife and she were closer to Samuel's age, then Daniel could be her son.  I know that Dinah Schumate's father was named Daniel and it is believed that Daniel Luttrell is named after him but I believe Daniel was a common enough name that he wasn't.  This is only a possible theory that would explain why Daniel is only about 5 years older than his mother.

JOHN LUTTRELL.  In Elston Luttrell's manuscript he is called one of the emigrant brothers.  He may have been born abroad, but his father was certainly here with him.  His wife, according to John Lewis Luttrell, No. 49, was Winifred Larrance who, with certain of her children, went from Fauquire to Frederick County, Va., where she died on the 19 Mar. 1816 or 1818.  By deed of Dec. 1766, recorded in Fauquire deed book 2, page 590, John Luttrell conveyed unto his brother James, a parcel of land formerly belonging to his father, Richard.  By act of the Virginia General Assembly in March 1756, John Luttrell was allowed compensation for services in the militia of Prince William County.  (7 Henning's Statues At Large, 24.)  He died before 28 June 1790, when inventory of his estate was recorded in Fauquire County will book 2, page 171.  In confirmation of the statement that his wife was Winifred Larrance, the will of Edward Larrance, Sr., dated 26 Mar. 1783, probated 27 Mar. 1786, and recorded in Fauquire will book 2, page 82, devise three negroes to his daughter, Winifred Luttrell.  [Source:  Allied families of Read, Corbin, Luttrell, Bywaters, by A.M.
