agree because we watch the misspellings all the time.<BR>As to fact of

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

Dan;<BR>><BR>> I got the impression from some of what I read that
dismissing Mathen(e)y <BR>> out<BR>> of hand as not being your folks
might be a mistake; it makes it harder of<BR>> course, but in a couple of
things I ran across last night looking for <BR>> Walter<BR>> the
implication was that some times the names get confused. I would think <BR>>
if<BR>> they were in the same neighborhood it would make confusion even
easier, I<BR>> can just imagine some court clerk who had recorded for
Matheney weddings <BR>> in<BR>> the last two months because the Matheney
boys had gone on a marrying jag<BR>> being told by the guy standing in
front of him that he is Walter Matney <BR>> and<BR>> thinking he was
hearing Matheney.<BR>><BR>> The most important place to consider that of
course is the Census stuff, I<BR>> wouldn't find half of my ancestors and
buttonhole relatives if I didn't <BR>> use<BR>> a lot of imagination on
spelling.<BR>><BR>> Les C<BR>><BR>> -----Original
