  The new Ferry is called the Daniel Matheny V  it is named after my gt.gt.gt. grandfather who was one of the first owners of the Ferry.

  Dan you misspelled my last name again, being Welsh you have to add the "E".

  Walt 

  PS I still copies of the book "Into the Eye of the Setting Sun" that I send online.

    We've used the Wheatland Ferry several times, I think it was previously 
    called Matheny Ferry.

    Matneny has a list on some server, I used to be on it, I used to be the 
    admin for the one on rootsweb, Dianna started some one line group for them. 
    I know they are always showing up around Matney also, I think the name is 
    French and we found Matney there as DeMatenyee <sp> close to that off hand. 
      I see Matheny properties close to Matney properties and some travels in 
    same areas, how ever there are more of the pioneer type people in those old 
    days the Matheny seemed to be to more famously known over the Matney in most 
    places eg Champoeg. 
      Matney like any other names has a lot of milestones but I noticed the 
    Matheny seem to be more well known over all eg Walt Davis's Aunts book into 
    the setting sun. SO far we have not found any one who has recorded any 
    Matney/Mattingly pioneer mentions too much. There is a great deal of history 
    for folks in the era and each name I read about seems to have its own 
    history, very much fun reading about all names of the times, I always wonder 
    how it really was all these people on the wagon train 1843 so to speak.

    In this Hiram Simkins business, I find two in Oregon before 1900 - - one 
    in the Wheatland area of Yanhill & Polk Counties, with connections to 
    numerous of the well-known Champoeg area pioneers, and his uncle, Hiram 
    Simpkins, found in the 1880 census in "Jump off Joe" in Josephine 
    County, the census taker writing something that could be transcribed as 
    "Irian". 

    Anyway, of the former, less related one, I found the Matheny name 
    popping up again, which, since it has been a topic on this list, I 
    thought might be of interest to some:
