Lineage of the Hingstons of Aglish

Taken from a manuscript book held at the National Library of Ireland entitled "Lineage of the families of Bernard, Hingston and Perceval of Co. Cork, 19th c. 1 vol., with attached commissions to Arthur Bernard andJohn Baldwin in the militia of East Carbery etc., Co. Cork, 1 Sept. 1702, also list of Capt. Bernard's troop, East Carbery Militia [1702?], passport for William Robinson, 18 Jul. 1859, and note on the pedigree, 19th c."(Ms. 21,822).

Only the Hingston Lineage has been copied here. It is not clear by whom this was written. It is in a leatherbound notebook and appears to have been written in one hand and at the same time. There are no crossings-out or additions which may mean that it has been copied from some other source. It is unclear when it was written; the latest date in it is 1837. It has been copied as is. (??) indicates something I can't read. Anything in italics is a comment from me. The links are to the tree HNA with which this is consistent.

Soon after his return to England, he was appointed to the Naval command of an expedition fitted out for the purpose of exploring the course of the Congo or Zaire river in Africa, by ascending the stream in boats, while a party by land under Major Peddie was to penetrate across Western Africa to the Niger river, it being expected that both expeditions would affect a meeting on the Niger and Congo river.
After proceeding upwards of 400 miles into the interior, Capt Tuckey, with most of his officers, and men, overcme by the harassing duties consequent on an intricate navigation carried on in a hot and pestilential climate, fell sacrifices to their zeal, and adventurous spirit.
The same disasterous fate attended Major Peddie's land expedition.
