The father ran his business on the farm in front of the wood near Elberfeld, but later moved to the city. There the son Abraham worked as a merchant and on June 17, 1704 married Helena Wülfing (1678–1741) from Elberfeld. She was the daughter of Gottfried Wülfing (1633–1695), the mayor of 1694. The marriage resulted in nine children, four of whom died young. Among other things, her son was Johann Abraham Lüttringhausen , who was mayor in 1757.
