In 1671/2 James Latterell was one of 27 persons transported to Virginia.
1691 – a son, John, was born in St. Stephens Parish, Northumberland Co., VA
1697 – James purchases 100 acres in Northumberland Co.
1698 – James died. Court records show his wife, Susanna, and son, John.
John inherited the 100 acres. The court ordered that “Susanna Luttrell, widow & relict of James Luttrell, be allowed for her paraphenalia a flock bed and furniture appraised to four hundred and fifty pounds of tobacco out of her 1t deceased husband James Luttrell's Estate.”
There is no proof, only an assumption by most Luttrell researchers, that the James Luttrell transported to Virginia in 1671/2 is the same James Luttrell who had a family in 1691, purchased land in 1697 and died in 1698 in Northumberland Co.
This immigrant, sometimes referred to as “servant”, from whom a vibrant branch of the Luttrell family descends, is thought, by many Luttrell genealogists, to be a direct relation to
the Luttrells of Tankardstown, Co. Meath, Ireland, and therefore a descendant of the Luttrells of Luttrellstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland.

James Luttrell – 1677 - Maryland
June 15th, 1678 warrant then granted unto Daniell Selby of Somerset County for one hundred and fifty acres of land due to him by the aforegoing ass't. from William Stevens:
A list of persons transported into Maryland by Capt. William Piper. . .James Loterill (Luttrell). . . .
"These servants all landed and brought into Maryland by me Wm. Piper. These servants proved in common forme the ninteenth day of March Anno Domini 1677 before me: William Stevens.
. . .To have and to hold the same to the said Thomas Walker his heirs and assignes forever as witness my hand and seal the nineteenth day of March anno domi 1677: William Piper {seal}"

As shown on the document, this James Luttrell was an indentured servant.
No additional information about him has been found. Some researchers have suggested this was the James Luttrell transported to VA in 1671/2 who then was transported to serve an indenture in MD, then returned to VA, established a family, purchased land and died in Northumberland Co., VA, in 1698.

1699, servant, age 18, in Westmoreland County, VA.
1712 – married Elizabeth Pierce, possibly a 2nd wife
1722 – died in Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co.
In his WILL he calls himself a “planter”. He leaves a sizeable bequest to each of his named heirs - wife, Elizabeth; two sons, Robert and John; daughter, Margaret. There is no mention of a plantation or land (many “planters” leased their land).
Simon's place of birth and name of parents are not known.

This Simon Luttrell may be the same as Simon first documented in 1699 although it is unknown why he would be shown as a settler being transported in 1705.

1718 - witness on a Will of George Lamkin (of Cople Parish) filed in Westmoreland Co.,
1722 – 1766 multiple land grants to Richard Luttrell of Stafford Co, Virginia
1726 (or before) – married to Mary Dermont, daughter of his neighbor, Michael Dermont
1766 – Richard died in Fauquier Co.; WILL names wife, Mary, and eleven children
Date of birth, place of birth and parents’ names are not known.
Some Luttrell researchers suggest Richard is son of James, the immigrant. Other researchers claim him to be son of Robert Luttrell, presumed emigrant from Ireland.

Are James, Simon and Richard Luttrell, the first Luttrells in Virginia, related? No found document establishes a relationship between them. Does their geographic proximity to one another offer clues as to their relationships? Do the names of their children suggest a relationship?

Robert Luttrell, a son of Luttrellstown, is claimed by many Luttrell genealogists to be
an immigrant to America from Ireland (1690? – 1706?) and progenitor of a prominent
branch of the Luttrell family in America.
They may be correct, but, he has a document problem. We can find none here.

English Luttrells
Multiple descendants of the English family have been shown to have immigrated to America. So far, only descendants of English female Luttrells, who no longer carry the Luttrell name, have been found.

Some other Luttrell Immigrants to America
In 1824, a James Luttrell, brother of Simon (who is in Ireland at this time) is shown as an immigrant to New Brunswick, Canada from Queens County, Ireland. And, in 1837, James, the son of Simon Luttrell (born in Ireland) is born on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Note: the names ""James", "Simon", "Robert" and "Richard" are very popular among the Luttrells in Ireland and America during this time period.

In the 1880's, an Alexander Luttrell from Ireland is a settler and "namer" of Emo, Ontario, Canada.
