RYLAND, SAMUEL, esq. of Bearley and Sherborne, in the county of Warwick, and of Cannon Hill, in the county of Worcester, was born 5th December, 1764; m. 8th March, 1808, Anne, daughter of Samuel Pemberton, esq. of the Laurels, Edgbaston, in the county of Warwick, by Mary, his heir, daughter of William Grosvenor, esq. of Market Drayton, a lineal descendant of a younger branch of the Grosvenor family. By this lady Mr. Ryland has an only daughter, LOUISA-ANNE. * Mr. Ryland succeeded his father, 5th June, 1814. He is a magistrate for the counties of Warwick and Worcester, and served the office of high sheriff for the latter county, in the year 1822. Sir Thomas le Grosvenor, Lord of Hulme, m. 1. Robert, Lord of Hulme, who died 11. Ralph, who m. Joan, sole daughter III. Thomas, who carried on the line This a son. ↑ See "Taunton of Freeland," vol. ii. p. 215. Lineage. This family was anciently seated on an estate called Ryland's Hill, at Bearley, in the parish of Suitterfield, in the county of Warwick. Of this estate the Rylands held possession for many centuries, and it finally passed into other hands in the year 1779, being then sold by Richard Ryland, esq. of London. The patrimony of the family appears to have been materially impaired by the active part which they took in the civil wars between CHARLES I. and his parliament. The irretrievable loss of a pedigree which gave a genealogical detail during a period of nearly three hundred years, as well as of the registers of Bearley,† in which the name of the family was traced as far back as the year 1500, renders it difficult, with that precision and accuracy which are desirable, to notice the early descents in their proper connection. From documents, however, still extant, the long continued and uninterrupted possession of the property at Bearley is sufficiently evident. From these documents too, we become acquainted with several interesting facts, as, for example, that one of the Rylands married Susanna Perkes, of Bearley, who is known to have been of the Perkes, to one of whom, "Clement Perkes of the Hill," Shakspeare alludes in the "Second part of King Henry the Fourth," act v. scene 1.
