*​RE: Jane Luttrell, married to Rowland Plunkett
"Walter Luttrell, 20, was "licensed to go beyond the seas" and on 2 May 1635 was transported from London to Barbados on the Alexander, Mr. Gilbert Grimes under Captain Burke. Of interest, there were also aboard Edward, 20; Thomas, 28, (b. ca 1607) and Rowland 18 PLUNKETT. The name Rowland Plunkett has been documented as the husband of Jane Luttrell, daughter of Richard Luttrell and Anne Cusak."

The 4 children were probably found in Richard Luttrell’s Will (unfortunately, many records were lost in 1922 due to a fire in the Irish Records Office). 
James was the only one not married. His age can only be estimated. 
He is not shown again unless he is "James Luttrell   barber/surgeon   Dublin   1660" whose WILL is noted in Prerogative Wills of Ireland.

Irish Manuscripts (below) shows sons of Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown (Oliver is deceased) and sons of James Luttrell the barber/surgeon.
They each have a son named Patrick.
The Irish Manuscript (10) info is probably from the 1670s. 
American documents show a James Luttrell is an immigrant to America in the 1670s. 
It is alleged by many, but not documented, that the James Luttrell of Tankardstown is the American immigrant.  GL

RE:  Anne Cusack, wife of Richard Luttrell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Cusack_(judge)  
Robert Cusack (c.1516–1570) was an Irish judge of the sixteenth century, who held office as Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). He was strongly recommended for the position of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, but was passed ove for the office, though r with a promise of future preferment. His career was cut short by his premature death. 
He came from a prominent Anglo-Irish landowning family of the Pale. Although his legitimacy was questionable, as his father in later life denied that he had been lawfully married to his mother, this did not harm him in his career.

He was born at Cussington, County Meath, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Cusack, later Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and his first wife Joan Hussey.[1] His parents' marriage was unhappy and in 1537 it was annulled; Robert's father in later years denied that there had ever been a valid marriage between himself and Joan, and always spoke of his second wife Maud Darcy as his first "lawful" wife. On the other hand, Thomas acknowledged his paternity of Robert and his other children by Joan, and he seems to have treated them generously enough. In the 1550s Robert was living at Lismullen Abbey, which his father had acquired on the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and later he lived at the older family home at Cussington.[2] The John Cusack who died in 1629 and was described as the owner of Cussington was probably Robert's son.

He is said by some sources[8] to have entered an underage marriage with Margaret Kiltane, which was annulled. He later married Katherine, daughter of Sir Christopher Nugent, who was a younger son of Richard Nugent, 4th Baron Delvin.[9] 
Of his children, who were all by Katherine, various sources[10] refer to six- 
John (died 1629)
Christopher
Anne, who married Richard Luttrell, a grandson of Sir Thomas Luttrell
Margaret, who married John Plunkett, younger son of the second Baron Louth
Genet
Catherine, who married Thomas Delafield.
His widow remarried Peter Barnewall, 6th Baron Trimlestown and had further issue by her second marriage.[11] 
Robert's sister Catherine Cusack, who married Sir Henry Colley, was the ancestor of the 1st Duke of Wellington

Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown

From "Illustrations, historical and genealogical, of King James's Irish army list, 1689" by D'Alton
In a paragraph regarding Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown. . .
"In 1613, Thomas Luttrell was one of the Representatives of the County of Dublin in Parliament. Those of the name 
attainted in 1642 were Robert Luttrell of Girstown, and Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstown, County of Meath." 

Order of Succession of Col. Simon Luttrell (d. Sept 1698)
From http://www.irishmanuscripts.ie/digital/calendarofinquisitionscodublin/files/data/search.xml (10)
In Appendix to Calendar of Inquisitions of County Dublin
(date unknown, but presumably after 1691)
Col. Simon Luttrell and Robert Luttrell of Symonstowne were attainted in 1691 (lost their properties after fighting against England and Protestants)
Col. Henry also was attainted but made a bargain with the English and was awarded Luttrellstown and all of Col. Simon's properties.

. . .in a listing of Simon Luttrell’s order of succession (he was childless). . .
First listed are any sons by his wife, Catherine Newcomen, alias Luttrell; 
then to “Simon’s heirs male by any other wife”; 
then, to his brother, Henry or Henry’s sons; 
then, to Thomas Luttrell, Simon’s “third brother” (? Second brother?) or Thomas’ son; 
then, to “Robert Luttrell of Symonstowne, co. Kildare, gent., Simon’s uncle” or his sons; 
then, to “Michael, s. of Oliver Luttrell of Tankardstowne, gent., to Patrick another s. of Oliver”. . . . 
then, to William Luttrell of Old Cornmarket, Dublin to Oliver s. of Robert Luttrell of Liscarten, gent., to Michael another son, to Stephen Luttrell of co. Kildare, gent., to Henry bro. of Stephen, to Patrick s. of James Luttrell of Dublin, chirurgen (?barber surgeon?), to Luke, another son of James, to William Luttrell of Dublin, baker, to Richard Luttrell of Naas, chandler (maker/seller of candles), and to Patrick Luttrell of Naas, shoemaker,
Oliver Luttrell, of Tankardstowne, was the son of Richard Luttrell (d. 1633) of Tankardstown, grandson of Robert Luttrell of Tankardstowne who was the third son of Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown. Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown was the great-great-great-grandfather of Col. Simon Luttrell (d.1698).

Oliver Luttrell is deceased at the writing of this document.  He died in 1668.
James Luttrell of Dublin, barber surgeon, died in 1660. 
They were both likely cousins, and heirs, of Col. Simon Luttrell
