 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. The marchers were constantly attacked and harried along the way and suffered many privations due to lack of food and the harsh wintery conditions.  Fourteen days later, only 35 people (including 1 woman) made it to safety in Leitrim.  Others had died or were left for dead along the way.

  Who are the INGERTYs? A search for the surname INGERTY on forebears.io which lists the surnames of the world, produces no results. There are no family trees on Ancestry with Ingerty families in them. A search on Face Book for Ingerty results in four very strange looking listings that do not seem to be attached to real people. A search of the major on-line genealogy sites for the surname Ingerty does not produce large numbers e.g 35 references world wide on Find My Past. Many of the references, once the original document is sighted turn out to be wrongly indexed FOGARTYs or FLAHERTYs. If you consider the state of many of the original documents, as per the picture above, you can well understand the difficult task faced by indexers!  Others turn out to be wrongly attributed Hingertys. One example is an entry in the NSW Government Gazette for September 1888 which clearly lists a land sale of a block of land in DeBoos Street Temora involving a J. Ingerty. However, it is much more...

  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...
