>From what I'm reading at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_ferries_in_Oregon
Jesse Applegate was the 1st operator of the Wheatland Ferry then Walt writes: Daniel Matheny V it is named after my gt.gt.gt. grandfather who was one of the first owners of the Ferry. He says one of the first OWNERS, not the first... I am enthused to read everything like Dan M. is : )
*I read Leabo & Matheny ferries are 2 different ferries.. Am I wrong?

also this.
Even some of our own people pretended to misunderstand him, but they were probably of a later emigration. My Father admired, respected and was deeply grateful to him.The Methodist Mission at Wheatland was in charge of Jason Lee. When we came the original Mission at Wheatland had been abandoned and the new Mission was established at Salem.We owned and lived in the house that was built for Dr. David Leslie, but most of the houses were across the river. Jason Lee's young wife was buried there.

From the Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 48, p. 345 [1947 - I believe]:
"A new six car electrically-propelled ferry boat, Daniel Matheny III, went into service at the Wheatland ferry crossing of the Willamette River, on June 11. Daniel Matheny, pioneer of 1843, purchased James O'Neal's (sic) land claim in 1844, and soon thereafter established regular ferry service. Lindsay Applegate assisted him in constructing the first ferry boat, using 'bushel or two of literature he found in the old house' recently abandoned by the Jason Lee missionary workers at Mission Bottom.
On Jan. 1853, the territorial legislature authorized a public road from Salem to Dayton, crossing the river at Matheny's ferry. For more than ninety years the service was privately owned and operated and became a public ferry less than ten years ago."
Note: James O'Neil is my children's 4th great-grandfather.

YES .YES
It was call Mathena's or Matheny's Ferry before the town of Wheatland existed. Daniel Matheny my 3 gt. grandfather started the town of Wheatland he owned the Ferry many years before buying it from the Methodist Missionaries in 1844.
