UPDATE: Mystery Hingertys in the USA

-

 


The following Hingertys appear fleetingly in USA records and then disappear. 
Where did they come from? Where did they go?


* Ellen Hingerty is listed in the 1870 US Census as a 55 year old from Ireland keeping house for a minister in Fall River, Mass. Is she related to Michael Hingerty the stone mason also living in Fall River?


UPDATE: Death record found on Family Search for Ellen HINGARTY widow of John Quigley, died at Fall River chronic bronchitis, 12 Feb 1898, born Ireland 1829, father John. Marriage record previously located for Ellen Hingerty and John Quigley 19 July 1852 Nenagh, Tipperary, Ireland. Would appear to be the same person. Her relationship to Michael Hingerty of Fall River is still unclear.






* Margaret Hingerty from Ireland appears in the 1860 US Census in New Jersey, born about 1842. 

* Mary Hingerty from Ireland appears in the 1860 US Census in New Jersey, born about 1841.

* Maria C Hingerty born in Ireland 1851 or 1852, died in New Jersey in 1893 with Probate in 1894.

* Henry K Hingerty was an Ordinary Seaman sailing in and out of New York. Born about 1907 and listed as a USA citizen.

* F Hingerty is noted in a newspaper listing of uncollected letters in Vicksburg, Mass.

A town map for Fulton Illinois has lots owned by F Hingery, Jesse Hingery and Jeff Hingery.....is this the same F Hingerty? and who are Jesse and Jeff?

* J M Hingerty is listed in 1879 as a 43 year old living in Spaulding Iowa and subject to military duty.

* Mrs J Hingerty has uncollected letters listed in a newspaper in Butte Montana.

* Simon Hingerty (indexed on Family Search as Hengerty) arrived in Boston, Mass in 1854 on board the "Frank Pierce". 20 year old from Ireland. 

and then there is Timothy Hingerty..... but I will leave his story for another day.......

Do you have any information that could shed some light on these 'mystery' Hingertys?

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

-
Image
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

Is this the Hingerty Homeland?

Is this the Hingerty Homeland? Place names in Ireland often reflect the clans and families who previously occupied the land. While researching early references to the O'hlongadail name, I came across "Family Names of County Cork" by Diarmuid O Murchadha. 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
