I am a descendant of Sylvester Metheny, thru Mildred K. Chapman Bolt, & Faye Metheny Chapman. I have just found your website, and have only checked out a few of the newsletters. Most of my Metheny information came from Louise Randolph, who I believe died recently. I will be contacting you for more information, I'm sure, after I have looked over he rest of your web site. Let me know if you would like any information on my immediate branch of the family. I use PAF for my data. My address is 11 Royal 18th Dr., Slidell, LA 70460. My parents are still living; in Avon Park, FL. I was great to find your web site. Greg

Hi Dave: I'm just a long-time fan of PAT METHENY. A while back on his site (PMGLN) there was some discussion about the name METHENY and its roots. I asked his brother Mike (e-mail) for some info, he was so kind to reply the next day (what a sense of humor !), but I didnt have much luck finding any info. My friend Linda (another BIG PAT FAN) gave me the address for this site. I especially enjoyed rea ing their guestbook comments to you and the interviews. Lots of good background info on my all-time favorite jazz man PAT. Going to see his show 1/30/98 in Clearwater, FL. If you havent had the pleasure already, you really ought to go to one of the shows. Pat plays like "wind thru trees in heaven". You will love it! Thanks again for a super site.

Hi Dave. Loved the article on my pet project, Fort Smith. If anyone would like to read more about it, the National Archives has a rough draft of the Fort Smith Criminal Index and the Dawes Rolls of The Five Civilized Tribes online. Both are works in pr gress, but worth a visit if you are looking for Indians or badmen in Oklahoma Territory! hhtp://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html I am searching for descendants of Moses Matheny of Beaver County, PA. My relatives moved west to Kansas and then the majority went on to Oregon and Washington. I have quite a bit of information I gathered on a trip to Pa. If anyone is researching Moses, I would love to hear from you. ET

My aunt says that James Harvey was her gg grandfather. Anyway if anyone knows any more about my line of mathenys i would love to hear from you.

Thanks for your e-mail, Dave. Enjoyed the page and have done some research on the family, too. Not as thorougly as yours, though did some work in the Salt Lake City library of the LDS church some years ago. I need info about Matheny/Metheny in Marion C unty, Ohio to finish my direct lineage, which is the same as yours, of course. Hanging up on the father of one Virgil Metheny who was born in Marion County, Ohio. My grandfather David and father WJM, Sr. (1936) were born in Huntington, WVa. I was born n Huntington in 1949. I think if I can get that connection to Marion, then I can get a connect to a Moses Metheny and then to Benjamin, too. Speculating. Enjoyed your page. Happy Holidays.

I enjoyed my visit very much. I was particularly impressed with your Civil War pages. Thanks for your link to the Sons of the Confederacy. I have been meaning to visit. Two of my great-grandfathers and several of my great-granduncles served. Some wer lost, along with a great deal of genealogical information in South Carolina. Sherman was an effective warrior. By the way, thanks for visiting my site.

My grandfather was Ord Ewell Matheny m. Alice Otsie Kelly. I have very little information on them except that Alice was Ord's second marriage. They had eight children. They lived in the Campbell's Creek area of Charleston, WV. If you have any Matheny connections to WV I would be glad to share what info I have. Thanks, Rick

She is 74 years old and has several contacts of individuals who have quite a bit of info on the Matheny lineage. She may be able to add something to your list.

I have a very early DANIEL MATHENY I haven't been able to trace even with the large data bases of Dolores & Farrell. I hav the very long history of the WENTWORTH line too. I don't have enough to warrent a home page, so hopefully I can place queries many places. Peggy Carey

I LOVE THIS SITE! Thanks, especially to Dave, but to all the contributors. The web is a great way to stay in touch, and now that I'm finally taking my maiden name back after 17 years, I am more interested than ever in my family history. My father (Howard etheny) died July 17. I doubt I will ever get over the pain, but I think this will help keep me in touch with my roots in a very positive way. Two of my brothers (Stan and Gene) have already signed on. We would be very interested in any information anyone has on any Samuel Metheny. He was my father's father (my dad was born in 1926). Sam disappeared one day when my dad was very young. Then Dad was orphaned at the age of 12. To the day he died he never k ew what happened to his father. He has one older brother (76) still living. A note to Pat: great music. The "Missouri" cd was my favorite relaxation music of all time. I gave it to my stepmom after my father died because she was having so much trouble sleeping. I tried to replace it this weekend, but the store was "sold out" (goo news, huh?).

Great page! I have neglected my Metheny roots for many years, but am still avidly interested. I live just a few miles from the site of the Stafford County Hope Plantation where Daniel's tombstone was found. Our common ancestor is Ensign James (Revoluti n). I have the paternal line back to 1080 something in France (not many details - the original is in French - hope to pursue getting this manuscript from Library of Congress and translated. Also have the coat of arms (the real one). Will keep in touch s I make progress. P.S. I know where the Metheny-Wolfe family burial ground is in Preston Co. WVA. Have photographs. Do you know anything about a petition to the Sons of American Rev by William Blake Metheny?

To Pat Metheny...love your music, and glad that you're making our name well known, and less often mispronounced. Regarding Abe Lincon: James H. Metheny was a life long friend of Abe Lincoln and Mary Todd. He was "best man" at their wedding. Noah W. Meth ny was the clerk who signed the marriage license. I'm not certain, but believe their father, Charles R, who was a licensed preacher and practiced law, may have been Abe Lincoln's law partner in Springfield, IL. Never heard the story about a midwife, but that may be so, too. By the way, Pat...my son, Kevin was with MTV/VH1, and, I believe you all met. He's also amusingly depicted as Pig Virus in Howard Stearn's "Private Parts", and is part of a composite part known as Pig Vomit in the movie. One more " ame" connection: John David Metheny, son of William H. Metheny married Kate Bumgardner, whose sister is the mother of James Bumgardner, known to movie fans as James Garner. So, by marriage and a little stretch, we can claim James Garner as a kissin' cous n.

My son, Kevin alerted me to your page. Great! As far as I can determin, everyone named Mathena, Matheny, Metheny and other adaptations find their roots in France, in the small village of Mathenay, southeast of Paris and about 100 miles west of Berne, Swi zerland. The first person known to use the name was Count Guy de Vaudrey, Segneur de Metheney, b 1080. All Methenys in the US are decendents of Danieel Metteneye (Mathenia) b 1638 in Surrey County, VA. I am stumped finding the father of my great grand ather, William H. Mathena, Metheny, b9/5/1837 in Dyersburg, TN. His mother was Rebecca. Her maiden name may have been Pierce (?). Wm. H's father may have been from GA or TN. Would have been born around the turn of the century and would have spelled the name Mathena. If you can help me, please let me know. Congratulations on your work. Keep it up. Thanks.
