In the high temperature cuprate superconductor, HgBa₂CuO ${}_{4+\delta },$ , it has been determined that the dopant oxygen, O_δ, resides in the Hg-plane. We present a systematic investigation of the ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectrum as a function of dopant oxygen concentration, δ. At high doping levels we observe four distinct ¹⁹⁹Hg resonance peaks which follow a binomial distribution in δ corresponding to zero, one, two, and three nearest neighbor O_δ atoms. Finally and additionally, we have measured a linear dependence of the peak frequencies on doping and suggest that these measurements might be theoretically amenable.
