A tale of Two Michael Hingertys?

-

 



Michael Hingerty #1

- 1852 Naturalisation Declaration, New York Dec 1852. Made his mark rather than a signature.

- 1856 Oath for Naturalisation made by Laurence Maher on behalf of Michael Hingerty of Flushing New York.

Michael Hingerty #2

- 1870 US Census 30 year old stone mason born in Ireland, living in Fall River Massachusetts

- 1871 Naturalisation papers- birthplace listed as Balinaglogh, Tipperary, Ireland. Birthdate 12 Sep 1837. Arrived in Boston 28 Sep 1866. Signed his name.

- 1880 US Census Michael Hongerty 41 year old private in the army residing in Springfield, Mass. Born in Ireland to Irish parents.

- 1884 City Directory Fall River, Mass. Stone mason.

Michael Hingerty #1 # 2 (or #3?)

-1885 Death Index Chicago Illinois.  50 year old. 

- Illinois newspaper- 51 year old brick layer, native of "the ford" Tipperary, Ireland- with the note "Fall River papers please copy."

How many Michael Hingertys do we have here? The reference to Fall River newspapers seems to indicate the death notice is referring to Michael #2

Are you a descendant of one of these Michael Hingertys?

Do you have more information about any or all of them?

I would love to hear from you!

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

Background: We currently have nine Hingerty BigY700 testers representing the four exisiting Hingerty lines with living Hingerty males. We have the results of eight of the tests, the most recent (BH, USA) becoming available this month (January 2023). The ninth test (SH, Australia) was only taken and posted to the lab in Texas in late December. We will have those results in a few month's time. We are using a combination of: * Genealogical data * STR data from YDNA testing (111 Markers) * SNP data from YDNA testing (BigY700)  to answer our two research questions  Are all Hingertys related?  How are they related? Thank you to our "Hingerty Heroes" JH, PH, MJH, SH, BH, MH, WH, DH and RH for taking the YDNA tests and allowing our research to progress. (Click  here  to view a video presentation introducing you to YDNA and the Hingerty YDNA Project.) What the results have revealed to date: All Hingertys are related: STR Evidence: All Hingerty testers match at the STR 111 Marker l

He mentions the townland of  Kippaghingerghill  in the Bantry area of Cork. The name Kippaghingergill translates to "Long plot of land belonging to the O'Hingerdills". This is what it looks like if we zoom in a bit closer. Overlaying the "South West Ireland 12th Century Clan Map"  with Google Maps, it looks like Kippaghingerghill is in the same area as the clan map locates the O'Hingerdill. For further information re pronunciation, meaning and references to this townland, see Irish department of Heritage and Culture  for this location. The website  townlands.ie  has this boundary map and details So, is this the Hingerty Homeland? The map lines up, the names lines up.... and it does line up with
