[or-roots] Matney

[DanM.]

Yes I agree because we watch the misspellings all the time.
As to fact of relationship other than that there is none.

Matney comes from Mattingly.
Most of the name variants on the Matney page on rootsweb for the my group 
MATNEY are ones I had at the time.
   We have over 130 varients of misspellings in Matney and Mattingly.
Also De Matenyee <sp> again and on back to the Doomsday book my cousin found 
relations . How ever not touched on enough yet to prove lines.
   The Matheny/Cooper and Matney/Cooper are two unrelated lines, but yea I 
know the Matney and Matheny got mixed in spelling as well as Matiny, Matany, 
Matni and Mantey, all types of typo`s we have found. Also another problem is 
the wagon masters did not get every one listed because I know of several 
people who had to be on the 1843 train and the 1850 train I did not see in 
the list of members, I know Walter did not travel alone but is the only one 
on it. Also I did not see our Coopers on the 1850. I was wondering if there 
were other trains in between.  I do have pictures of the Matney wagon 
freight wagons and the Matney folks, not sure of the year but the streets 
were all mud then. Matney folk had fright wagons went around the mt`ns 
Alturas, to The Dalls and back around to Dallas and back to CA and all over 
again, also James B Matney was a scout who led most of the trains from Salt 
lake to Oregon, not a lot of his mentions either.
