regiment of Militia, who was sworn in as Lieut.-Governor of 

 Guernsey under Lord Carew, and John, who, under the aus- 

 pices of his kinsman Henry de Vic, served under Admiral 

 Sir John Pennington and was a member of the unfortunate 

 expedition led by the Duke of Buckingham to the relief of 

 La Rochelle. Here he met his death in 1627. 



Thomas Andros married first, his cousin Marie Careye, 

 whe died the following year, and again, in 1606 Elizabeth de 

 Carteret, daughter of Amias de Carteret, Seigneur of Trinity 

 Manor, Jersey, and Bailiff of Guernsey. Of this union were 

 eleven children, of whom four were soldiers who fought and 

 died in the cause of the Stuarts. 



Amias Andros, the eldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth 

 de Carteret, married on January 17th, 1832-3, Elizabeth 

 Stone, daughter of Robert Stone, Esqre., of Holme, in Nor- 

 folk (1) and sister of Sir Robert Stone, Captain of a troop of 

 Cavalry in Holland, and Cup-bearer to the Queen of Bohemia. 



It will be remembered that Elizabeth Stuart, the fasci- 

 nating daughter of James I. and Anne of Denmark, married 

 Frederick, Elector Palatine of the Rhine and afterwards 

 King of Bohemia. After a reign of a few months he was 

 deposed, and he and his wife found refuge at the Hague, 

 where their Court became a resort for the Cavaliers driven 

 out of England by the Rebellion. We soon find that Amias's 

 two younger brothers Joshua and John had availed themselves 

 of Sir Robert Stone's influence to join an irregular force of 

 Cavalry, which united the charms of being in the thick of 

 whatever fighting was going on, with the access, during inter- 

 vals of leisure, to the most agreeable society in Europe. 

 Joshua Andros was killed during the Thirty Years' War ; 

 John became Master of Artillery to Prince Maurice, tbe 

 Queen of Bohemia's warlike son, and when the latter and his 

 gallant brother Prince Rupert came over to England in the 

 spring of 1641 to defend their unfortunate uncle Charles I. 

 against his rebellious subjects, John Andros came with them 

 and was killed in one of the battles of the Civil War. 

 Charles Andros, their younger brother, was an ensign in the 

 famous company raised by the Chevalier Dillon ; he served under 

 the Due de Vendome in his expedition to Gascony against 

 the rebels and was Maitre de Camp in the Army of Louis XIV. 

 He was fortunate enough to survive these experiences and,
