Simon Luttrell, son of Thomas Luttrell and Barbara Seagrave, was born about 1654 in Dublin, Ireland. He appears for many years to have suffered from ill health. "In a letter written by him in London on Christmas Eve, 1688, to the young Duke or Ormonde, he states that he had been sick for ten years, and had symptoms of paralysis."[1]
In September 1689, Simon is in Dublin of which he had been appointed Governor. He raised a regiment of dragoons for James II, and was then appointed by James as Lord Lieutenant of the County Dublin, which he represented in James' parliament, as well as a privy councillor. He appears to have gone to France before the battle of the Boyne, but returned to Ireland for a short time during the siege of Limerick. He died abroad in 1698.[1]
He married Catherine Newcomen in Aug 1672; daughter of Sir Thomas Newcomen of Sulton. They apparently had no children, or at least none that survived to adulthood, as his estate was inherited by his brother, Col. Henry Luttrell.[1] . Catherine survived her husband Simon until 1704. A year before her death she married as his second wife the father of the eccentric Thomas Amory, the author of the "Life of John Buncle, Esq."[1]
Born about 1654 in Ireland he is reported to have died in the Battle of Landen 1693, in the French Army. The Battle of Landen or Neerwinden took place on 29 July 1693, during the Nine Years' War. It was fought around the village of Neerwinden in the Spanish Netherlands, now part of the municipality of Landen, Belgium.
However there is question about this date with others suggesting he died in 1698.[1]
