Richard Luttrell married Anne Cusack, co. Meath
Robert Cusack* (c.1516–1570) was an Irish judge of the sixteenth century, who held office as Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). He was strongly recommended for the position of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, but was passed over for the office, though with a promise of future preferment. His career was cut short by his premature death.
He came from a prominent Anglo-Irish landowning family of the Pale.
He was born at Cussington, County Meath, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Cusack, later Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and his first wife Joan Hussey
He married Katherine, daughter of Sir Christopher Nugent, who was a younger son of Richard Nugent, 4th Baron Delvin.[9]
Of his children, who were all by Katherine,

*A question about Anne Cusack Luttrell's father. . .
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Luttrell-925
Although his wife is described as the daughter of Robert Cusack of Cussington, presumably Robert Cusack (1516-1570), this is highly unlikely as Robert Cusack of Cussington died in 1570, meaning Anne was the mother of 4 children in her late 50's or early 60s at the earliest. It is more likely that her father was Robert Cusack of Gerrardstown in County Meath, himself a grandson of Robert Cusack (1516-1570) through his mother Genet Cusack (Irish Builder and Engineer)
Thanks for the insight 925

Richard's heir was his son Oliver. Oliver fought against the English in the Irish Revolution of 1642. After the English defeated the Irish,
many of the rebels were attainted and lost their family estates.

In a paragraph regarding Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown. . .
"In 1613, Thomas Luttrell was one of the Representatives of the County of Dublin in Parliament. Those of the name
attainted in 1642 were Robert Luttrell of Girstown, and Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown, County of Meath."
Richard Luttrell of Tankardstown may have been a barber/surgeon, 1577*
Charter of the guild of St. Mary Magdalene, Dublin, Recites the charter of Henry VI. to the fraternity of barbers in that city. Considering that it is necessary for the preservation of health that these should be more skilled in the art of surgery, and that there are two distinct societies exercising that art, the barbers and the surgeons, and that the latter have not been incorporated. It is granted that William Kelly, Rich. Edgerton,
Rich. Luttrell, . . ., surgeons, of the city of Dublin, and all others to be admitted, shall form for ever a society to be called the guild of the Blessed Mary Magdalene of Dublin.

*What would Richard's age have been if he is the son of Robert Luttrell (born abt 1540-45)?
The barber/surgeon certainly could be another Richard Luttrell
