Biographical profile


THIS ENTRY IS IN PREPARATION



Background notes


In the 1640s and the 1650s William Ryder was usually described by contemporaries as Captain William Ryder. After receiving a knighthood from the restored Charles II, he was described for the last eight years of his life as Sir William Ryder. It is as Sir William Ryder that Samuel Pepys came to know him.

However, Ryder's self-identity remained that of a mariner, in the mould, of James Moyer senior, a highly successful mariner from Leigh, Essex, who was involved in the Levant trade.

Historians have shown surprising confusion as to his background, and have drawn on a rather narrow range of primary sources to speculate on Ryder's religious and political beliefs.[1] However, there are a significant range and number of primary sources which have remained untapped.

Ryder was a close commercial and personal associate of Captain Jeremy Blackman [senior][2], whose executor he was, and of his father-in-law Captain Roger Tweedy and his brother-in-law Captain John Crowther.

Captain Ryder traded in a wide range of commodities over his lengthy commercial career.

One area in which he was active in both the 1650s and the 1660s was munitions and naval supplies. Prior to winning and retaining a major naval contract in 166X, in partnership with XXX and XXX, he was involved in purchasing and selling cannon, guns and amunition. For example, in November 1650, he purchased ten of the Greyhound's guns, with his frequent partner in the 1650s, Captain Jeremy Blackman, buying a further four large guns.[3]

Add further classes of commodities, with examples

Captain Ryder was commercially interested in warehousing. In October 1656 he agreed to take on from the English East India Company the bulk of the space in their Blue Warehouse.[4] In a letter to Sir George Oxenden, dated XXXX, he rued damage to goods he had placed in his son-in-law's wet warehouse, rather than in his own dry warehouse:

XXXX[5]

He was also commercially interested in a sugar house in Woolwich, which he co-owned with his friend and frequent commercial partner in the 1650s, Captain Jeremy Blackman and another merchant with connections to Barbados, Luke Lucie. In 1656, Blackman bequeathed to his son William Blackman:

the Increase thereof which I have in Stock att the Sugarhouse in Woolwich in Comp:a with Master Luke Lucie and Captaine William Ryder to be imployed for his advantage untill he shall attaine to his age of one and Twentie yeares[6]

At any one time he was a part-owner in one or more ships. Over the years these included the Achilles, the Eagle, the Smyrna Merchant, the Thomas and William and the XXXX.[7]

Ryder appears in a number of Chancery cases which have not previously been explored by historians. He also appears in the published correspondence of several contemporary merchants, and in unpublished records relating to Tangiers held at the British Library.[8]

In a Bill of Complaint in Chancery (C 6/151Pt2/28 f. 1) William Ryder was a plaintiff along with James Modyford, Robert and Jonathan Dawes, John Portman, Phillip Scarth, John Robinson, Isaac Taylor, and the executors of Abraham ?Moace and Thomas Hodges, as a part owner of the 444 tun Thomas and William of London, which had been hired out to Parliament for naval service in 1652. In another Bill of Complaint in Chancery (C10/58/29 f. 1) he was a defendant in a case in which he, as Captain William Ryder, had received a bill of exchange in London from an Amsterdam source.

Sir William Ryder had an extensive network of commercial contacts and partners over the years, which spanned geographies and political views.

Contacts, described as friends, with whom he had commercial contact included:

John Portman, the London goldsmith
William Cutler, London merchant, naval contractor
Sir Richard Ford, London merchant, naval contractor
Captain George Cocke, London merchant, naval contractor)
Sir George Smith, London merchant
Captain Jeremy Blackman, mariner, London merchant, President of the EEIC at Surat (165X-165X)
Captain John Crowther, brother-in-law
Captain Thomas Crowther, brother of John Crowther
Richard Myddleton, London merchant, son-in-law
William Ryder, London merchant, son
Thomas Ryder, London merchant, son
Samuel Heron, apprentice of Sir William Ryder, and later a London merchant in his own right
Sir George Oxenden
Elizabeth Dallison
Sir Henry Oxenden

Sir William Ryder made a bequest in his will of £50 to the parish of Wembury (alias Wembery, Wemburie), Devon. Although he does not state in this will that he was born there, this would seem plausible. Indeed, the Rider/Ryder name was long established in the parish, with local archival references to Rider/Ryder from the C14th, and a good number in the C16th in both Wembury and Plymouth. However, the Visitation of Devon of 1620 shows only a Rider family of Beare Feris, Devon, a parish to the north of Plymouth, whereas Wembury lies ca. fifteen miles away to the south-east of the port town. Nevertheless, the Protestation Return for Wembury, in the Hundred of Plimpton, 1641/42 contains the names of Edward Rider (x2), Josias Rider, Martin Rider, and William Rider, with a Nathaniel Rider, constable, acting as one of the signators of the return.[9]

EEIC, 1655-1659


"[May 21, 1658] Captain Ryder's purchase of the Achilles with all her belongings is approved. Captain Henry Terrill is entertained to go in her as master at 6/.. a month, and Captains Ryder, Swan, and Brookhaven are desired to victual and man her with all convenient speed. At the request of Captain Jeremy Blackman, the court agrees, on his paying 400/. into the Company's cash here, to give directions for 1,600 rials to be paid at Surat to Chout Tapper [see p. 355], Colonel Rainsford, and Mr. Revington, to whom Blackman is indebted"[10]

"[October 7, 1656] Captain Ryder's offer to take the Blue Warehouse off the hands of the Fourth Joint Stock for their whole term is reported. It is thought that the offer should be accepted and the said warehouse be delivered to him at 'Allhollandtide' next, provided that the middle warehouse and loft are left for the Company's use, for which payment shall be made in proportion to the whole rent, and that the Company may be accomodated any time (on payment) with such further room as occasion shall require."[11]
