[or-roots] Cooper & Matheny

[Nancy Lee Adams]

Hi Walt & everyone - I found this on the Internet. Interesting reading to me as my family came to Marion Co., OR. and moved to Eastern, WA. I am always trying to find more connections with my Oregon Trail pioneers & love to read about all the surnames that are mentioned. You have probably seen this before but though I'd send just in case. I think everyone on the list would enjoy reading also.. Mentions Wheatland.    Nancy

GREAT READING!!

  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.
