Dianne, I am new to the list, but my ancestors were named MATHENY. I will write a longer query for the group later when my daughter lets me use my computer again. Mary McGuire [email protected] Mary, There are many Matheny records starting with the marriage of C.F.W. Matheny and Aramanty Taylor on 2 Sept, 1837. Let me know which ones you are tracing, and I will check the census and marriage records for you. Judith Cameron Lanclos Highland, CA
