Hingerty One Name Study

  Rosegreen was the 2500 acre property, located about 6 miles from the township of Temora, owned by John and Isabella Hingerty from about 1888. (Image above was taken around Temora but is not Rosegreen) . Temora Station was 'taken up' as a sheep run in 1847 by Mr John D Macanash.  He called the station Temora after another property he had lived on in another part of the colony. There is some speculation as to the origin of the name. Macanash stated in a letter to the Warwick Argus newspaper in 1880 (reprinted in the Newcastle Morning Herald 16 Sep 1880)  that he believed the name to be Aboriginal in origin though not of the language of the people in the area now called Temora. Others quote the passage in the epic poem "Ossian" " The mighty are dispersed at Temora...soft by they rest in thy cave, O chief of Erin's wars....' and thus claim an Irish heritage. The later is more likely and Macanash was mistaken in his belief that the name was Aboriginal in ori...

 Hingerty YDNA Project Report 13 March 2022 What are we trying to find out? 1. Are all Hingertys related? 2. How are they related? Context: * Hingerty is a rare surname, with few living direct male descendants. * Only 4 male ancestors have direct Hingerty male descendants alive today- William (USA), John (Australia), Patrick (Stafford), Denis (Lancashire and Ireland). * Our focus has been on YDNA and the male descendants because the connections between the 4 lines will be in the early 1800s/late 1700s which is just at the edge of usefulness of atDNA (found in both males and females, randomly recombined for every new birth), whereas YDNA is very stable and is handed down directly from father to son with mutations occurring (on average) only every 82 - 110 years.  * There have been major recent developments in the effectiveness of YDNA tests and an increase in the number of men testing from Europe and Ireland which in turn has developed the Tree of All Mankind for the R Haplogro...
