[Illustration: From Sir Edmund's official Seal used in New England.] NOTES ON THE PRECEDING MEMOIR. Since the foregoing pages were in type, we have been favored with some additional information concerning the Governor, through the kindness of A.C. Andros, Esq., one of the present representatives of the family. A. He refers, first, to the printed account of Sir Edmund Andros, to be found in the following book:--"Sarnia, or Brief Memorials of many of her sons," by Ferdinand Brock Tupper, Esq. of Guernsey, published in that island in 1862. In it the fact is mentioned that the manor or fief of Sausmarez (_anglice_ Saltmarsh) in St. Martin's parish, was sold in 1748 by the Andros family to a branch of the Sausmarez family which still owns it.
