QUESTION:  How many "Luttrell" (this spelling only) families are there in the United States?
ANSWER:  According to the 1999 "U. S. Directory of Luttrell Families" - 3246.  Kentucky was the most populous with 373 "Luttrell" families.  Tennessee had 355.  Illinois had 224.  Missouri had 205.  California had 201.  Then came Florida, Indiana and Ohio. . . .  Rhode Island and New Hampshire had 0.
The "U. S. Directory of Luttrell Families" came to me unsolicited in the mail.  I have no idea how reliable it is, nor who published it, nor what I did with it.

INTERESTING "LUTTRELL" QUOTATION

In 1775, the British House of Commons was considering motions to suspend three coercive statutes directed against Boston and Massachusetts Bay.  "On March 30, on its second reading in the House of Commons a debate followed in which Temple Luttrell, a speaker for the opposition, declared:  'To force a tax upon your colonists, unrepresented, and universally dissentient, is acting in no better capacity than that of a banditti of robbers'."
From an unknown book, chapter titled "Repudiation of Chatham's Plan".  Footnotes reference Journals of the House of Commons, XXXV, 221, 232, 240, 241, 251, 259 and the Parliamentary Register, I, 415-22.
The Early Days of Durango Colorado

The Rochester Hotel is one of Durango's oldest hotel establishments, built in 1892 and continuously operated as a hotel for more than 100 years.  It .was first owned by ex-territorial governor and founder of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, Alexander C. Hunt. Durango was created by the railroad in 1880 when the town was first platted.
The second owner of the property was James Luttrell, Durango's first land agent. Luttrell was known as the head of a committee of Durango citizens that drove the infamous Ike Stockton gang out of town after a midday shoot-out in 1883. He was instrumental in designing the street configuration of early Durango.
Luttrell married Katherine Whittman in November 1880, the first marriage in 
Durango. 
The First Celebration of Christmas at Durango's St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in 1881 featured a quartet of young girls, including Lily Luttrell, James' daughter, 
singing “Christmas Time Has Come Again”
James Luttrell is shown in the 1885 Colorado state census as 50 years old and born in Germany.
