Timothy Hingerty- Drunk, Disorderly and High Treason?

-

 Timothy Hingerty was born around 1839 in Tipperary Ireland.

From the time he was 21 years old he had a number of 'run ins' with the law.

In October 1860 he was reported to be living in White Barns and was charged with destroying the surface of the Common. The charges were brought against him  by Lord Baron Dunally.

Things take a much more serious turn when, in October 1865, he was charged with High Treason and placed in Nenagh Goal. 




Pound Street is a short street near the centre of Nenagh.

Fortunately, Timothy was later released when it was claimed that he and his companions had been falsely accused as reported in "The Penny Dispatch and Irish Weekly Newspaper", Dublin 11 November 1865 and the Nenagh Guardian.



In November 1866 Timothy was reported to be living in Curraghmiddy (should this be Curraghanuddy?) and was charged with being Drunk and Disorderly.

This starts a pattern of similar charges-

In December 1867 while residing in Millbrook he was once again charged with being Drunk and Disorderly. (Was he living with his mother Mary Hallaran and step father/uncle Michael Hingerty at Millbrook?)

In May 1868 he was living in Ballykevin (?) and was charged with being Drunk.

Later that same year he was charged and fined with 2 others. No offence listed.

In May 1869 he was listed as living in Ballinaclough and was once more charged with being Drunk.

Later that month he was listed as being in Nenagh Jail, discharged on 27 May.

....and then the charges stop...... and the name Timothy Hingerty appears on the other side of 'the pond' - twice in the US Census of 1870.

On 13th June 1870 a 32 year old labourer Timothy Hingerty was listed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

On 18 August 1870 a 27 year old labourer Timothy Hingerty was listed in Harrisburg Pennsylvania.

So, are we to assume that Timothy Hingerty of Tipperary emigrated to the USA between May 1869 and June 1870 and moved around Pennsylvania during the time of the Census being taken?

What happened to Timothy Hingerty after the 1870 US Census?

There was a Timothy Hengarty born in 1892 in Lisheen serving on a fishing ship out of Baltimore in June 1921- is he in any way related to this Timothy?

If you have any information about Timothy Hingerty to share - I would love to hear from you!

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
