The Le Mesuriers, (late governors,) of Aldemey, and the elder branch of the Tuppers, of Guernsey, having been twice connected by marriage during the last century; John Tupper marrying Margaret Le Mesurier, 1730-31, and William Le Mesurier, son of the Dean of Guernsey, marrying Jane Tupper, 1781 ; and Colonel Tupper and his brothers being in consequence related to Colonel Le Mesurier ; it may not be deemed irrelevant to include in these " Records" a life of that gallant and lamented officer, particularly as it will add to their local interest. Colonels Le Mesurier and Tupper fell nearly at the same age, and both in command of foreign troops, although the former was a lieutenant-colonel in the British service. The following Memoir is extracted, with some slight revision, from the Sarnian Monthly Magaz ; ne for July, 1815, a work of which only three numbers were pub- lished, and which is now nearly out of print. — Ed.
