Barthlynn McCoy is a Luttrell who's ancestors moved to Texas from Tennessee around the turn of the Century. She created this great web page that you really should check out. Barthlynn lists many facts about the Luttrell family going back for almost 1000 years! Did you know that the Luttrell's inhabited a couple of castles in Europe? Did you know that James Luttrell moved from Ireland to Virginia in the 1600's? Did you that Milton Jacob Luttrell served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War? Learn more about these and many other facts about the Luttrell's on Barthlynn's Luttrell Family Index.
Apparently there are many Luttrell's trying to trace their roots. To facilitate these efforts GenForum has created this bulletin board for Luttrell's to post questions and answers about the Luttrell Family history and family tree. This is a resource worth knowing about as our family strives to learn about our history.

If you ever find yourself in Ireland you might want to check out another former Luttrell family residence; The Luttrellstown Castle. Visit this site to learn about it's history, see a photo, and even make reservations for a stay.
Juanita Berrian sent me this link to Luttrelltown Castle. Guests at Luttrellstown castle have included "Queen Victoria, Ronald Reagan, Prince Ranier and Princess Grace of Monaco to name but a few."

Tennessee has been one of the main homes for the Luttrells, Hills, Gipsons, etc. for well over 100 years.
