Richard Luttrell
of Luttrellstown, County Dublin, Ireland

B. ?   D. before 1554*

Son of Sir Thomas Luttrell (d. 1554) of Luttrellstown

*FE Ball in (3) and CEJ O'Brien in (11) show Richard predeceasing his father, Sir Thomas Luttrell, dying before 1554 
and not named in Sir Thomas Luttrell's Will.  Sir Thomas Luttrell did bequeath a sizeable inheritance to his cousin, Nicholas Luttrell of Clonsilla (near Luttrellstown).  Nicholas, who died in 1567, had a son named Richard who survived him.  Some of the information, below, may refer to Richard, son of Nicholas.  The references to "Richard Luttrell of Luttrellstown, gent." would seem to refer to the son of Sir Thomas, but they are dated after Sir Thomas Luttrell's death, and presumably after his son, Richard's, death.

1567-8  In Nicholas Luttrell's (cousin of Sir Thomas Luttrell) WILL is shown a "Simon Cowill" 
without designating what their relationship may be.  
Simon Cowill may have some relation to the "David Cowill, late of Palmerston, near Dublin" who was pardoned in 1538 
"for stealing 20 pounds in silver in a purse from Richard Luttrell".  This may refer to Nicholas Luttrell's son, Richard.
