:More Research Into Disney 1'0144
Connections of Interest Locally
(From GOdloriolt Signal-Mar)
The -Genealogical Office in My,
lin, Ireland, provided information
about the Disney family, some of
whom lived in the Goderich, Hob
incsville and Bluevale areas at
one time, This information was
obtained by James J. Pearson,
Ethel, Ontario, who sought to
trace a connecting link with the
Pearson and Disney families and
that of the Churchill family, of
Which Sir Winston Churchill is a
distinguished member,
Writing in the Listowel Ban-
ner on the subject, Editor Cy
Bamford says;
When James L. was in this of-
fice a week ago, he recalled that
the Pearsons and the Disneys
knew one another well, living in
towns only 12 miles apart in Ire-
land. This statement is born out
in the Dublin letter. Quotes the
Genealogical recorder: 'Our files
show that a Keppel Disney, son of
Robert, was married to a Frances
Best in the town of Leighlinbridge
on the Barrow in 1795." It was
from the Best family that the
name Elias was derived.
It is important •to remember
this name "Elias" because the
father of the famous cartoonist-
producer was known by that
name—but he was Elias Disney
the second. Starting back in the
year 1740, the chronicler notes
this succession: Keppel, Elias,
Keppel, Elias and then the world
famous Walt.
Genealogical official Eustace
adds: "License directed to St,
Mary's Church, Dublin for James
Disney of Kill County, Carlow, to
marry Anne Moore of Dublin,
spinster, July 31, 1818. Also we
find a, case of a Thomas Disney
Sr., acting for Lady Longford,
securing lands for Richards Geor-
gina" Pearson, acting for her hus-
band, Richard Pearson (deceased).
The money involved about 5,000
pounds. William Disney was ac-
ting administrator and Robert
Anthony Disney was witness."
Anyhow, it appears the Pear-
sons decided to forego their hold-
ings on the Emerald and sail
for a new life in the New World.
Consequently one day in •the year
1850, a branch of the family ar-
rived in Goderich—then being ad-
vocated as a promising mecca by
John Gait. They kept up corres-
ponel!ence with their Disney friends
back in Ireland and apparently
made those letters sound so ad-
venturous that the Disneys event-
ually decided to follow forth.
Keppel Disney, the second, came
to visit James J. Pearson's grand-
mother, Catherine and thereupon
met her sister. After the neces-

United States. Elias, unfortunat-
ely was not blessed with his fa-
ther's aggressiveness and led more
or less of .4 .shiftless existence, SQ-
journing far a spell in Chicago—
Where Walt was born—and then
on to Kansas,
And according to James J, Pear-
son, Walt wasn't much better than
his father arid for a good- part of
his life, although recognized for
his- artistic talents, was labelled
a squanderer and
It was his brother, Ray--a man
blessed with knowing the value of a shekel — who turned fortune
Walt's way. He is now and always
has been the man behind the scene
Who really directs the Disney ent-
erprises.
James J. Pearson has never
spoken or written to Walt, but
has carried on correspondence
with Rey who provided him with
considerable of the information
he is compiling, Walt, of course,
never saw Bluevale until about
ten years ago when he toured the
land: settled by his grandfather,
