Hingerty One Name Study

 "My" John Hingerty of Templemore, Tipperary, Ireland sailed from Plymouth in October 1840 arriving in Sydney in February 1841 on the ship the Jane Gifford. John, and his fellow 257 passengers, were "Bounty Immigrants" having been recruited and paid for by the Immigration Agent John Marshall- what did that mean? A very short history of white immigration to Australia pre 1841. The first European people to come to Australia to stay (not just explore and map and then leave) were convicts and their gaolers. Prior to 1824, it was a crime to 'seduce' an artisan to emigrate to Australia. Only convicts, approved families of convicts and their gaolers were allowed in. From the mid 1820s, it was decided that it would be a good idea to encourage 'men of means' to assist in the development of the fledgling colony. Such men were given large free land grants on their arrival. Labour was supplied by convicts and ex-convicts. These policies resulted in a gross gende...

 John Hingerty (1813?- 1889) married Isabella McDonald in Goulburn, New South Wales in 1845.  Isabella had migrated from Scotland in 1839 on the ship "The British King" with her grandparents, parents, siblings and many other relations- everyone on the ship was related. It has long been believed that Isabella was related to the first Australian saint, Mary MacKillop. In this guest post, Isabella and John descendant Carmel Peek explores this relationship.

Lt William Henry INGERTON 1835-1864 Ingerton is a very rare surname.   Forebears.io estimates: According to Forebears, Ingertons are found in USA, Ireland, UK and New Zealand. The Irish historian John Grenham notes that no Ingertons are listed in  the Griffiths Valuations of Ireland in the mid 1850s. He links the name to the surnames Hingerton and Hingerty.  As was discussed in a previous blog post  Hingerty, Hingerton, Ingerton- Are they related?  the three names often intertwine, especially back in Ireland in earlier years. This blog post will document Ingertons who moved out of Ireland and emigrated to the USA with a focus on the possibility of Ingerton namebearers from these family lines being alive in the USA today. Connecticut and Ohio-   Cornelius The story of Cornelius has already been told in the previous blogpost concerning the relationship between the surnames Hingerty/Hingerton/Ingerton........ Cornelius and Winnie had three sons and t...

  R-FTB79413  The USA Hingerty Haplogroup! Recently 'WH' of the USA tested with the BigY700 YDNA test at FTDNA and his results are in! .... and, because of his test, we have a new branch on the Tree of All Mankind that represents the descendants of Thomas Rice Hingerty born in 1864 in the USA. How exciting is that! And....(drum roll please)....we are one step closer to identifying (and therefore being able to estimate a date for) the shared direct male ancestor of all Hingertys alive in the world today!  The Hingerty YDNA Tree now looks like this: Note: You may have noted changes in the date predictions from my previous  post on this topic. As more men test generally on BigY700, and as more Hingerty men test, the time estimates are refined- a YDNA test is the test that keeps giving as FTDNA constantly refine results as more tests are taken. The 'Holy Grail' is to identify the SNP Variant/Haplogroup for the men: *   John ? ( Australian Hingerty ancestor ),...
