How many Shropshire family alliances have been recorded, I ask, as my Wool Merchant LUTER ancestors frequently married into the CORBETT Family, also merchants of the Welsh March.
Hence forth wherever the CORBETTs had Manors around England there also occurred LUTERs.
This arrangement is even recorded late 1680s, in the USA at the CORBETT/LUTER Plantation Jamestown Virginia.   
It may seem an obvious question to ask but how would these alliances of worked, which leads to that old much used statement in family history that their ancestor arrived with a prominent person.
