Edmund Andros

Sir Edmund Andros (December 6, 1637-February 24, 1714), colonial governor, was the son of Amice Andros, Seigneur of Sausmarez.

Andros served as governor of New York (1674-1681), New England (1686-89), Virginia (1692-97), Maryland (1693-94), and Guernsey (1704-06). Andros was not a popular governor, and at one point was placed under arrest and shipped back to England.
