[or-roots] Matney

[Leslie Chapman]

Dan;

I got the impression from some of what I read that dismissing Mathen(e)y out
of hand as not being your folks might be a mistake; it makes it harder of
course, but in a couple of things I ran across last night looking for Walter
the implication was that some times the names get confused. I would think if
they were in the same neighborhood it would make confusion even easier, I
can just imagine some court clerk who had recorded for Matheney weddings in
the last two months because the Matheney boys had gone on a marrying jag
being told by the guy standing in front of him that he is Walter Matney and
thinking he was hearing Matheney.

The most important place to consider that of course is the Census stuff, I
wouldn't find half of my ancestors and buttonhole relatives if I didn't use
a lot of imagination on spelling.

ok
the Matheny folks are not related to the Matney lines ever.
The Cooper in these Matheny lines are not related to the Cooper in the
Matney lines, how ever these Matheny and Coopers are Walt Davis lines ;)

It seems back through time tho the Matney and Matheny lines seemed to live
near each other tho.
I will look in the John Matney and some of the other text you wrote further
for more related info all help even a tiny bit is a big help. I am where I
cant get to LDS or any research places any more.
