Looking for anyone connected with Samuel Ryder; was in the Plymouth, Mass. area during the Civil War years. I have a picture taken of him dated 1874. Thanks.

According to the biography commitee in Ontario, my GGG-Grandfather, John Ryder, was the son of Samuel Ryder who descended from Thomas Ryder of Yorkshire. He landed on the "Hercules" at Maymouth, Mass. on April 16, 1634. Samuel was an UEL, tory land owners in the American New England Colonies during the American Revolution. The Ryder large ownings on Clack River, where Watertown, NY now stands, were confiscated when the rebels won. The British rewarded the Ryders with large grants and an office in Kingston, Ontario. The family burial plot is the Cataraqui Cemetary. I would sure appreciate a scan of the picture you have. Thank you muchly for notifying us of this treasure.
I shall anticipate your email at my personal email address of:

My cousin in Plymouth MA and me (in Antelope CA) are interested, if possible, in obtaining a print of the picture of Sam Ryder. Is this possible? We will pay all expennses to be incurred. My cousin is Jane Weston and she is at gingerw1k@aol.com. Thanks so much. I was born in Plymouth and my progenitor, Edmund Weston came over in 1635. Have 8 m/f connections thus far approved. best regards, Jerry. I am military retired in Antelope CA just a few miles north of Sacramento.

There are many Rider/Ryders from down the Cape Cod area ans the original was a Samuel who came with childen one being Samuel Jr. and the name has passed down throughout the family. If you still have the photo of Samuel would you scan me a copy please. The "I" in the name was changed to "Y" in about 1840'S or so. Thank you Wanda aligator@pivot.net
