“Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown married (1) Anne Aylmer, d/o Bartholomew Aylmer, esq. of Lyons, Co. Kildare and by her had two sons and two daughters. . .

Richard – his heir

Robert – married Elizabeth, 2nd dau of Robert Rochfort Esq. of Kilbride

and was father of Richard Luttrell, esq. of Tankardstown, Co. Meath, who married Anne, dau of Robert Cusack of Cussington, co. Meath

and d. in Oct. 1633 leaving two sons and two daughters, viz.

(1) Oliver of Tankardstown; (2) James; (1) Jane married to Rowland Plunket of Cocklestown;

and (2) Mary m. to George Bathe of Edickstown, co. Meath”

(From Burke’s Extinct Peerages. . . A Genealogical History of the Dormant: Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct ... By Sir Bernard Burke pg 340)

The 4 children of Richard and Ann were probably found in Richard Luttrell’s Will (probably destroyed in Irish Records Office fire 1922). James was the only one not married. His age can only be estimated. He is thought to be "James Luttrell, Dublin, barber surgeon, d. 1660". Irish Manuscripts (below) shows sons of Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown as well as James' sons, Patrick and Luke. The Irish Manuscript info is probably from 1670s. A James Luttrell is shown as an immigrant to America in the late 1660s. It is not documented but many American Luttrell researchers have claimed that the James of Tankardstown is the American immigrant. James, the son of Oliver Luttrell, is a very possible candidate for the American immigrant, also. . .but there is no evidence, yet found, that either emigrated from Ireland. GL

From http://www.irishmanuscripts.ie/digital/calendarofinquisitionscodublin/files/data/search.xml

In Appendix to Calendar of Inquisitions of County Dublin (20)

c. 1673. . .in a listing of (Col.) Simon Luttrell’s order of succession (he was childless). . .

First listed are any sons by his wife, Catherine Newcomen, alias Luttrell; then to “Simon’s heirs male by any other wife”; then, to his brother, Henry or Henry’s sons; then, to Thomas Luttrell, Simon’s “third brother” (? Second brother?) or Thomas’ son; then, to “Robert Luttrell of Symonstowne, co. Kildare, gent., Simon’s uncle” or his sons;

then, to “Michael, s. of Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstowne, gent.,

to Patrick another s. of Oliver”. . . .

(Michael is shown, but Patrick is not shown in the 1635 testimony by Oliver Luttrell, shown above. Maybe he was born after 1635.) GL

Oliver Luttrell apparently was Catholic and fought with the Irish Army against the English (Protestant) forces, consequently, losing the estate at Tankardstown

Those of the name attainted in 1642 were Robert Luttrell of Girstown, and Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown, County of Meath. (31)

Possible Close Relationship

Robert Luttrell of Liscartan (near Tankardstown) is shown (deceased) in Col Simon's Order of Succession (c. 1673)

as father of Oliver and Michael.

Both Robert of Liscartan and Oliver of Tankardstown name sons, Michael.

Did Robert name a son after Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown?

There was a Robert Luttrell of Girstown (Garristown) attainted in 1642 as was Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown.

Henry Luttrell, together with a Thomas Luttrell, both described of Luttrellstown, County of Dublin, outlawed in 1691, as were Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown in Meath (whose estate was granted to Col. Slade and others), Robert Luttrell of Simonsown, County of Kildare, and William Luttrell of Dublin, Junior. Simon Luttrell and his wife were likewise attainted.

Possible error - Oliver of Tankardstown attainted 1642 after Irish Rebellion of 1641 and not alive in 1691. His sons were shown in Col. Simon Luttrell's succession order (probably mid 1670s) which indicate he was no longer living.
