<P>From the Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 48, p. 345 [1947 - I
believe]:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>"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.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>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."</P>

Matneny has a list on some server, I used to be on it, I used to be

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>&

I always <BR>> wonder <BR>> how it really was all these people
on the wagon train 1843 so to speak. <BR>> Dan M <BR>> -----
