HENRY LAWES LUTTRELL 1737-1821
SUGGESTED ADDITION perhaps before the sentence beginning "Luttrell's personal unpopularity" <The Memoirs of Miss Arabella Bolton(1770) accused him of opium date rape, and neglect of parental responsibility towards a daughter who only lived 13 months, that he fathered on a gardener's daughter, Arabella Bolton, while he was a student at Oxford.>
CURRENT TEXT "survived by his wife and his only known child, a natural son, Henry Luttrell(1768-1851)"
SUGGESTED CHANGE <survived by his wife and at least three natural children, *Henry Luttrell(1768-1851)*, Frances Maria(1770-1845), wife of Thomas Scott, and Harriet (1759-1819), daughter of Elizabeth Mullen whom he had married as a minor without parental consent when he served in America in 1759. The marriage was annulled and the child Harriet later married James Rogers (d.1791) and secondly Dr Henry Gale. She visited her father in Ireland in 1791 and in England in his later years.>
NOTES See my notes for Henry Luttrell(1768-1851) above. Town & Country Magazine Jan 1771 reported six of Luttrell's amours, I have restricted my comments to his known children. Aprobello Kathrine illegit d Arrobello Bouden born St Mary the Virgin, Oxford, baptised 15.12.1756 St Ebbe's, Oxford corroborates the testimony of Dr John Kelly, Professor of Medicine at Oxford, which he had published in order to clear his name and retrieve his fee, though he objected to it being used in the Memoirs of Arabella Bolton. The names of the nurses, surgeons and landladies in the book can all be traced as well. Luttrell married Elizabeth Mullen in America in 1759 as a minor without parental consent; he was then recalled to England and the marriage was annulled. Their daughter Harriet married James Rogers 16.2.1779 who died 29.5.1791 and she married secondly Dr Henry Gale, an Englishman. She visited her father in Ireland in 1791 and in England in his later years, dying before him on 2.1.1819.
