 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.<ref>Transcription of ''Protestant return for Wembury, Hundred of Plimpton, Devon, 1641/42'', made by A.
