Note 102 — III. SIR EDMUND ANDROS.

The principal authority for the facts of Andros’s life before he became governor of the Duke of York’s province is a biographical sketch in the History of Guernsey, by Jonathan Duncan, Esq., London, 1841, written by the late Mr. Thomas Andros of Guernsey, who died in 1853. This sketch was copied in N. Y. Colonial Documents, ii. 740, and has been used by W. H. Whitmore in his memoir of Sir Edmund Andros, in the first volume of The Andros Tracts. Mr. Whitmore has added to the sketch some few additional facts collected from a pedigree at the Heralds’ Office and from private family papers. His memoir is the most convenient, as it is the fullest and most accurate, life of Andros that has appeared. The History of Guernsey, by Ferdinand Brock Tupper, contains a few additional facts in regard to him, but of trifling importance. Vide pp. 367, 377, 392.
