[or-roots] Matney

[Leslie Chapman]

The DLC book was published by the Genealogical forum of Portland, I don't
know that it is available to purchase, but I am sure a lot of libraries
would have them. there are actually four books I believe, I have them from
Heritage quest in pdg format.

As to the name thing I figured you probalby had been down that road, I know
I have been enough times. I caught myself forgetting that the other night
though and giving up on the Keisers because I didn't look for Kiezer or
Kieser. And of course there is always the problem with indexes.

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.
