Book excerpt: The idea for this book began as an attempt to set out the descendants of Vincent Luttrell and his wife, Sarah Benson. And, if I was lucky, I might be able to add his parents and grandparents. I found there were two Luttrell immigrants from Ireland who settled in the Virginia Colony - James Luttrell, who arrived in 1671, and Robert Luttrell, who arrived about 1700. There were other Luttrell immigrants from England and Ireland - some to New England, some later in the 1700's and 1800's. But I felt sure that my Vincent must be connected to either James or Robert. Working forward from James and Robert and backwards from Vincent and the other Luttrells who lived near him, I have managed to put together what I think is a fairly accurate (although certainly not complete) descendant list of James, Robert and Vincent. So I decided to put them all in my book. It turned out to be a much bigger task than I thought it would be, but I have thoroughly enjoyed both the search and the writing. I hope you enjoy it, too. You will find in this book - both in the text and in the Name Index - the following generally used spellings: Litteral, Littrell, Luttrell (most common and default spelling), and Luttrull. Spellings changed over time as individuals modified their names. However, regardless of the spelling, all the persons in this book are descended from either James Luttrell or Robert Luttrell. Included in the text are over 4,000 descendants of James and Robert Luttrell. Related families include (but are not limited to) Allsup, Baker, Bass, Benson, Bywaters, Corbin, Duncan, Fanning, Gaines, Holland, Lawson, Ockerman, Preston, Rhea, Rice, Shelton, Stallard, Strutton, Sweet, Thornton, Witt, and Workman. A brief history of the Luttrell family is included -- from the arrival of the first Luttrell in England in 1066 with William the Conqueror, to the establishment of the Irish branch in the 13th century, and subsequent immigration to the Virginia colony in the 17th century.
