Samuel Luttrell

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Luttrell-668

Samuel Luttrell was a Virginia colonist.

Samuel was born about 1732 in Prince William County, Virginia Colony. He was the son of Richard Luttrell and Mary Dermont. He passed away after 1810 in Franklin County, Virginia.

Samuel settled on a 70-acre tract of land in Fauquier County given to him by his father, Richard Luttrell, on 26 November 1760.[1] Richard made a practice of giving parcels of land to his sons when they needed to set up a home plantation of their own. This was a portion of the land Richard was granted by the Proprietors of the Northern Neck in Stafford County in March 1722. (The counties had changed. Prince William was formed from Stafford in 1731 and Fauquier from Prince William in 1759.)

About April 1766, Richard Luttrell died. In his will he left Samuel title to the land he had previously given to him.[2]

ITEM I give to my son Samuel Luttrell 70 acres of land more or less being the same land and plantation whereon he now lives and where John Collier formerly lived and bounded by me.
Samuel acquired the use of another 150 acres of land on 1 November 1766. Lord Fairfax leased 150 acres to Samuel, his wife Dinah and son Daniel for their lifetime. On 22 October 1767 Samuel leased the 70 acres left him by his father to Samuel Wood.[1]

Samuel appears on the Fauquier County Rent Roll in 1770 with 70 acres of land.[3]

In 1777 Samuel is listed in Tenants of the Manor of Leeds, Fauquier County, with 150 acres.[3]

On 22 May 1788, he sold his 70-acre parcel to his brother, Robert Luttrell.[1]

The last reference in records that we find for Samuel is the 1810 Federal Census in Franklin County, Virginia. In the household are Samuel, aged over 45, his wife, also aged over 45; one male and one female age 26-44; 2 males and 1 female aged 16-25. The family members other than Samuel and his wife are possibly son Daniel and his wife Abigail and their children. They are living next door to Daniel Shewmake, possibly wife Dinah Shumate's brother.[4]

Marriages & Children

Samuel appears to have been married twice. It is known that he had only one child, Daniel Littrell, born 1768.[1]

Dinah Shumate, Samuel's wife, was born in 1762. It is not possible that she was Daniel's mother. I am forced to concede that Dinah was Samuel Luttrell’s second wife and not the mother of Daniel Luttrell.

It is not known who Samuel’s first wife was. No marriage record has been found of Samuel marrying anyone. We do know he was married to someone named Dinah in 1766. She is named on the lease from Lord Fairfax on 1 Nov 1766, along with their son Daniel (see below). I know, it’s the same name. But Dinah was not an uncommon name at that time. Samuel’s brother, Michael, also married a Dinah. So I am assuming Samuel married Dinah (not Shumate) about 1764 and had a son, Daniel, before Nov 1766. We also know that Samuel’s first wife died and he married Dinah Shumate by 1806. Dinah Luttrell was named in the will of her father, Daniel Shumate, on 24 Feb 1806. It is quite possible that Samuel’s first wife died very young. This would account for Samuel having only one child. He probably married Dinah Shumate about 1785. She would have been about 23 years old and he about 53. [5]

Samuel Luttrell. By deed of 1 Nov. 1766, recorded in Fauquire deed book 2 page 618, Lord Fairfax leased to Samuel Luttrell 150 acres of land for the joint lives of himself, his wife, Dinah, and his son, Daniel. By deed of 22 Oct. 1767, Samuel leased unto Samuel Wood 70 acres of land devised to him by his father’s will; and, by deed of 22 May 1788, Samuel Luttrell “of Leeds Parish, Fauquire County, Virginia,” conveyed this 70 acres of land to his brother, Robert Luttrell.[6]
