About This Book

The memoir assembles a detailed family pedigree and a chronological account of Sir Edmund Andros's life, tracing descent from a long-established Guernsey lineage, marital alliances, and a recorded coat of arms at Heralds' College. It reproduces a heraldic transcript of ancestors, estates, and issue, and outlines his military promotions and royal appointments, including service in several regiments, positions in the royal household, knighthood, and later colonial governorships in New York, Virginia, and New England, supplemented by lists of dates, marriages, and heraldic descriptions.
