Hingerty One Name Study

  Created by CH and ChatGPT Having discovered that our surname links us to an ancient Irish clan, I have often wondered what our clan chief would have looked like? I suppose in my mind he would have looked like the image here to the left...... but how accurate is this image???? I know very little about the origins of our clan. What little I do know I shared in a previous blog  Link to previous post The first clan chief to be mentioned in a document (to my current knowledge) is Thady O Hingerdell "called O Hingerdell" i.e. he is the clan chief. He is found in a list of other clan leaders from the Cork area in a government decree called a Fiant (Fiant 3038) for 1577. They had been granted a pardon from the Crown with the payment of a fine of one cow. I do not know Thady's age in 1577, but the next mention of a chief for our clan is in relation to The Great March of the O'Sullivans on New Years Eve 1602. Is Thady still the clan chief? To find out more about the Great Mar...

  The O'hlongadail Atlas 1603-1901, Tipperary for the surnames Harrington, Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton. An "O'hlongardail Atlas" was created using Google Maps in December 2023 (find link below) to explore the research question: Are the modern day surnames Harrington, Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton  linked by location and/or naming patterns in Tipperary after 1603? Background:  All 4 surnames, when found in Tipperary records, are believed: - to be variations/Anglicisations of the earlier clan name of O'hlongadail. -to have arrived in County Tipperary from the Bantry Bay/Beara Peninsular area of south west Cork as a result of the Great March of the O'Sullivans January 1603. The exact relationship between individual families using these 4 surnames is unknown and undocumented. Surname Variants: When using the Atlas, you will note the use of a variety of spellings for our 4 target surnames and a change in these variations across time. The most prevalent surn...

 The Harringtons of Templederry, Tipperary (Thank you to local Templederry historian Matt Ryan,  Marian Harrington of Templederry and Peter O'Flanagan, grandson of Ellen Mary O'Sullivan,  a researcher of Templederry O'Sullivan connections for much of the information in this post) Templederry (red) and Hingerty locations in the area (yellow) Background: On New Year's Eve 1602 Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare led 1000 soldiers and followers out of Glengarriff, Cork to escape certain massacre. They were attempting to reach sanctuary at Leitrim.  Among the marchers were the clan chief O'Hingerdell, his brother and an unknown number of O'Hingerdell clan members.

Some may have deserted ...

 The Big Y 700 test results for tester SH from Australia are now in.... and the good news is that they have revealed a SNP (a YDNA mutation/variation) that most likely formed when John Hingerty (1813 Tipperary-1889 New South Wales) was conceived! Our Hingerty YDNA tree now looks like this (the new SNP being marked with a star) Thank you to SH who tested- his results have made this identification of the "John Hingerty" SNP possible. As stated in the January YDNA report: Our focus now needs to turn to the Irish and Stafford lines. You need two testers to both be positive for a SNP and all others to be negative, for a new SNP to be named and dated.  To achieve this state of affairs you need two men who are closely related to test.   This has yet to be achieved on the Irish and Stafford lines as there are to date only one tester on each of these lines.  Our research cannot progress without these additional testers. Further testers on these two lines will assist us to: -...
