John Andros, also known as John Andrews, was an English gentleman born in Northamptonshire. He came to the Isle of Guernsey with Sir Peter Mewtis, Knight Governor of the island as his lieutenant and was afterwards Captain of Foot in Calais, where he died and was buried about 1554.

Pedigree recorded in Herald's College, Book 2 D, XIV. fol 175, cited by Sir Edmund Andros, Governor of New York, in the Andros Tracts, Volume 5, edited by William Henry Whitmore, (Prince Society, Boston 1868)

The family of Andros, or Andrews as it is more frequently spelt, was of great antiquity in Northamptonshire, being long settled at Winwick in that county. One branch, which was raised in 1641 to the dignity of Baronet, was resident at Denton in the same county; and from the similarity of the arms, it is evident that Sir Edmund claimed the same paternity. The pedigree recorded at Heralds' College is as follows.
