"Troublous times fell to the lot of . . .Simon Luttrell (IV). . . who lived to see Ireland under the rule of the Parliament. He was thirty-four years of age when his father died, and had maintained the traditions of his family by his marriage to Mary, daughter of Jenico, fifth Viscount Gormanston, the widow of one of the Luttrell's near neighbours, Sir Thomas Allen of St. Wolstan's.
In 1643 he was returned to the dying Irish parliament at a by-election as member for the borough of Navan, and in the following year he waited upon Charles I. at Oxford. Two years later, in 1646, he entertained the Marquis of Clanricarde at Luttrellstown, while the Marquis was carrying on the negotiations between Ormonde and General Preston, who had advanced as far as Lucan with the army of the Confederates."
His death took place about 1650, and he left several children, including his heir, Thomas Luttrell, but it was some time before the latter enjoyed the estates to which he had succeeded.

This is not Simon Luttrell, the fourth or fifth. This is the fourth or fifth Luttrell of Luttrellstown named Simon. The red numerals are to keep the various "Simons" more easily distinguished from one another (the webmaster gets easily confused)
*Robert Luttrell of Simonstown is shown to be Col. Simon (V) Luttrell's uncle in (10) and is said to be an
immigrant to America, by many Luttrell (American) researchers.

Dame Mary Allen Luttrell was the sister of Nicholas Preston, 6th Viscount Gormanston (c. 1608 – 1643). "He married Mary Barnewall (daughter of Nicholas Barnewall, 1st Viscount Kingsland) around 1630, producing several children whose inheritance of family estates in County Meath was contested amid the ensuing wars. . . .Nicholas and Mary had several children including Jenico, the 7th Viscount Gormanston, and at least two daughters whose identities are not specified in contemporary records but who were granted annuities of £20 per annum each from their father's estate in 1654.[1] Genealogical sources additionally record a second son, Nicholas Preston (c. 1640–1679), and daughters named Anne, Bridget, and Mary, though these details lack corroboration from primary historical accounts and may reflect later family traditions.
