Disney (County Waterford)
Originally from Lincolnshire, the Disneys were granted lands in counties Louth, Waterford and Westmeath in the 1660s. Major General Sir Moore Disney had a distinguished career in the Peninsular wars. After his death in 1848 his representatives were among the principal lessors in the parishes of Dysert, Mothel and Rathgormuck, barony of Upperthird, county Waterford, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Almost 3000 acres of this estate was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in February 1852.
