Hingston vs Kingston

The books published by Tuckey definitely say Hingston

So I am not sure where the reference books started the reference to Kingston.

Is anyone aware of a definitive reference that says that it is Kingston, or is there just the propagation of one assumption that carries through.

I would like to propose that we look to move these to Hingston. billinghurst sDrewth 17:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Further explanation. The reference "A Compendium of Irish Biography" may be the first book that has used Kingston and the source of the error. When looking at publications of the 1810s to 1830s they refer to Hingston. Refer to

Moved the article to display Hingston not Kingston.

It would seem that all the references to Kingston originate from the unattributed introduction to the posthumous book in Tuckey's name about Zaire, specifically the text as shown at http://www.archive.org/stream/narrativeanexpe00tuckgoog#page/n66/mode/2up . billinghurst sDrewth 16:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
