William Ryland
William Ryland (1770 – January 10, 1846) was a Methodist minister who served several terms as Chaplain of the Senate.
== Early years ==
William Ryland was born in Ireland in 1770. He came to the United States at the age of 18 and settled in Harford County, Maryland. For a time, he engaged in business in Baltimore; on May 28, 1799 a fire in that city damaged his warehouse.〔History of Baltimore City and County, by John Thomas Scharf, p. 261〕 In 1802, he became a minister in the Methodist Church, a vocation he continued in for the remainder of his life.〔Annals of the American Pulpit: Methodist, by William Buell Sprague, p. 392〕
When Mr. Ryland entered the ministry in 1802, a friend bantered him about the matter and told him he would soon give up the ministry. This friend was in the tobacco business. He said to him, "Now, Ryland, I am so confident that you will not continue in this thing, that I promise to send a hundred of my finest cigars every year you remain a minister." For 44 years this promise was faithfully kept. General Jackson enjoyed many of these cigars, although he much preferred a corncob pipe.
