“His (Simon IV) 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."
Luttrellstown had been seized by Cromwell’s Parliamentarians before Simon (IV) Luttrell’s death. A Col. John Hewson, who had been appointed Gov. of Dublin, was given Luttrellstown, at first on lease, then in 1659 in “fee farm”. Sir William Bury subsequently had occupancy before the Restoration.
During the Commonwealth the Luttrells resided in Dublin, and before the Restoration Thomas Luttrell married a lady belonging to a very old Dublin family, Barbara, daughter of Henry Sedgrave, of Cabra, by whom he had three sons, Simon (V), Henry and Thomas.”
Owing to the influence of the Duke of Ormonde, whose friendship the Luttrells enjoyed, Thomas Luttrell was one of those mentioned by name in the Act of Settlement as deserving of restoration to his estates, and in 1663 the Commissioners of Settlement directed that he should be placed in possession of them.
. . .
Some years later the owner of Luttrellstown took part in a remarkable duel, in which the principals escaped without hurt but the seconds sustained serious injury. Not long before his death in 1673, his son Simon (V) was in the matrimonial market, and an agent of the Legge family, who was on terms of intimacy with Thomas Luttrell, the uncle of the owner of Luttrellstown**, tried to arrange a match between Simon (V) Luttrell and a Miss Legge – the only blot on the Luttrell escutcheon, in the opinion of this match-maker, being the religion of the family.”
Above per F. E. Ball, History of County Dublin
*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 researchers.
**Thomas Luttrell, Jr, who was son of Thomas Luttrell (d1634) of Luttrellstown, settled in County Westmeath and died 1673.

After the Irish were subjugated by Cromwell. . .
"Thomas Luttrell was obliged, as an Irish Papist, to make way, when Lord Ormond handed over Dublin and the sword of state, in 1647,
to the Parliament, for Lord Broghill, who was afterwards succeeded as tenant to the state by Colonel Hewson, Governor. . . .

. . .Or of John Luttrell, transplanted with his wife and children from the ancient family estate of Luttrellstown, near Dublin, . . . where for four hundred years
his ancestors had fixed their affections and their name, into the barony of Glare in Galway, and there to hear of his four sisters begging the Council Board for some relief, and given ten pounds a piece, and bidden for the future not to expect any further gratuity or allowance from that Board?"

"On the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Thomas Luttrell was returned to his estate, which consisted of a great mansion of twelve chimneys, a malt house, a barn and two stables, all slated and valued at the considerable sum of £1,000. The estate also included ornamental gardens, three orchards, two quarries, a corn mill, a cloth mill and a salmon weir. The grange had thatched houses, a second mill and orchard and about twelve cottages. The whole parish of Clonsilla belonged to Luttrell, except Coolmine, which was Sir Edward Bolton's, and Hartstown and Castaheany, which the Barnewalls owned.
It is believed that the Luttrells’ land was restored through the offices of Sir Maurice Berkeley, whose brother Charles, according to Samuel Pepys’s “Diary”, ‘had the King’s ear’. One of the commissioners deciding on the settlement of the Irish estates was a Winston Churchill, an ancestor of Winston Spencer Churchill, who in turn had connections with the area. . . ."
