He inherited property, including Kindlestown, in the County Wicklow, from Sir Elias de Ashbourne (probably his father-in-law), who has been mentioned in connection with Knocklyon in the parish of Tallaght, and who appears as a witness of the transfer of the Salmon Leap property to Simon Luttrell."
"In 1349, some land and a mill at the Salmon Leap near St. Wolstan's were released to Simon Luttrell amongst others, and in little more than half a century we find Robert, son of John Luttrell, dealing with this property."
Had at least one sibling, a sister "who married one of the Plunketts".
One of the "owners of Luttrellstown" that "can be traced in unbroken succession".
". . .succeeded by his son Christopher Luttrell, who died in 1454. . . ."

"This is, apparently, the very Robert whom Edmondson and others following him have chosen to describe as
a younger son of Sir Hugh Luttrell of Dunster"
. . .although, "no evidence whatever is offered in support of this story."

"The first of the Luttrell family to be associated with Luttrellstown as per the documentary evidence was Robert Luttrell in the early fifteenth century. In 1408 Robert Luttrell is mentioned as tenant of Luttrellstown from the Tyrell family at the manor of Castleknock. William Bolthame was an under tenant of Robert at Luttrellstown by the service of 20d rent. William Bolthame was also a tenant of Robert Luttrell at Tyremoln, Barbiestown, and Fynnaghland.[12] In about 1402 Robert Luttrell took Nicholas Whit, vicar of Carbery, to the common bench at Carlow on a plea of debt.[13] In 1420 Robert Luttrell was one of the subsidy collectors and again in 1421 when he was assisted by John Luttrell.[14]" Was John Robert's father, brother, son or cousin?

Definitions:
messuage
Originally, the ‘messuage’ was a piece of land occupied, or intended to be occupied, as a site for a dwelling-house. Chaucer used it, and it is recorded as early as 1290 in an official document, after which it was employed regularly in title deeds. It may appear to be simply a synonym for dwelling house, but the messuage included outbuildings such as barns and cow-houses, and also any neighbouring lands that were traditionally associated with the dwelling.

carucate
The carucate was both a unit of assessment and a peasant landholding unit found in most of the Danelaw counties. The word carucate is derived from caruca, Latin for a plough. Since the standard Domesday plough team could notionally plough 120 acres in an agricultural year, the carucate was a nominal 120 acres.

The carucate or carrucate (Medieval Latin: carrūcāta or carūcāta)[1] was a medieval unit of land area approximating the land a plough team of eight oxen could till in a single annual season. It was also known as a ploughland or plough (Old English: plōgesland, "plough's land") in the Danelaw
