Hingerty One Name Study

  Hingerty One Name Study (including Ingerton and Hingerton) Statistics as at December 2022 (as supplied by My Heritage) As at mid December 2022 there were 2,652 people in our Hingerty, Hingerton, Ingerton tree. (We do not yet know if the Hingerton and Ingerton surnames are variations and if we all share the same common male ancestor many years ago- YDNA testing of Ingerton and Hingerton males would soon tell us if that is the case- however, while we await volunteers for testing, we will assume we are all somehow related as the family lines seem to be closely aligned back in Ireland.) My Heritage supplies statistics based on trees- here are some interesting facts about our tree. We are split evenly between males and females and the living and the dead .......... I am surprised we don't have birth countries for more people in the tree. I need to review the entries in the tree and make sure all countries have been typed into the birth field...... Only 605 living people in the tree ha

"Father Hingerty" is the man in whom SNP R-FTB79857 formed. He is the Most Recent Male Ancestor to seven Hingerty males from Australia, USA, Stafford and Ireland who have taken the BigY YDNA test at FTDNA. (Two more tests are pending) The estimate for his birth year moves around as more Hingerty males test and thus more SNP data is available for analysis. The estimate when the above chart was produced was 1746.  The latest estimate has moved further back in time and currently has a Mean of 1712.  Let us therefore suppose he was born sometime in the early to mid 1700s. Do we know of any Hingerty males alive in Ireland around this timeframe? The records are few and far between and often do not contain important information such as location....however, we do have a few candidates: 1. James Hingarty is listed in Betham's Genealogical Abstracts for 1749.  "James Hingarty, son Ryan, son Joseph, daugh Elinor, Kings County."  We therefore assume that James is married
