Mr. Tidgy, I cheated. I used Google to tell me (feeling quite silly) that Wellington is a brand, and Hiram Hutchinson actually invented the thing.
With help from Charles Goodyear.

Who knows where and how the company Birdseye came into being?

No, no, no; no, no.
The boots named after the Duke of Wellington were made of leather.
Amazonian Indians made rubber boots first from rubber from rubber trees!
Rubber was a disastrous failure in clothing terms to begin because it either melted all over you in summer or froze as hard as granite in winter.
Until Charles Goodyear discovered vulcanization by accident in the 1840's.
Goodyear's one aim in life was to make rubber useful. He found the process by accident on his wife's stove and patented it, but was ripped off by everyone .Even the Goodyear Tyre company , named after him, never paid him a cent.
The Amazonian Indians have made gumboots for thousands of years by standing in gum until it dries.
