I used to be on it, I used to be the <BR>> admin for the one on root

they are always showing up around Matney also, I think the name is <BR>>
French and we found Matney there as DeMatenyee <sp> close to that off

properties and some travels in <BR>> same areas, how ever there are more
of the pioneer type people in those <BR>> old <BR>> days the Matheny
seemed to be to more famously known over the Matney in <BR>> most
<BR>> places eg Champoeg. <BR>> Matney like any other names has
a lot of milestones but I noticed the <BR>> Matheny seem to be more well
known over all eg Walt Davis's Aunts book <BR>> into <BR>> the setting
sun. SO far we have not found any one who has recorded any <BR>>
Matney/Mattingly pioneer mentions too much. There is a great deal of
<BR>> history <BR>> for folks in the era and each name I read about
seems to have its own <BR>&g t; history, very much fun reading about all
names of the times, I always <BR>> wonder <BR>> how it really was all
these people on the wagon train 1843 so to speak. <BR>> Dan M <BR>>

two in Oregon before 1900 -- one <BR>> in the Wheatland area of Yanhill
& Polk Counties, with connections to <BR>> numerous of the well-known
Champoeg area pioneers, and his uncle, Hiram <BR>> Simpkins, found in the
1880 census in "Jump off Joe" in Josephine <BR>> County, the census taker
writing something that could be transcribed as <BR>> "Irian". <BR>>
<BR>> Anyway, of the former, less related one , I found the Matheny name
<BR>> popping up again, which, since it has been a topic on this list, I
<BR>> thought might be of interest to some: <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
