[or-roots] Matney

[Broad1000 at aol.com]

Do you have a copy of the Cooper-Hewitt-Matheny Journal and manuscript  
edited in 1996 by Gary Burlingame,Julie Jones and Dan Rivera.  I don't know  if 
it relevant to your search but I have a copy in the archives at the Philip  
Foster Farm.

Yes I  agree because we watch the misspellings all the time.
As to fact of  relationship other than that there is none.

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