When one man pointed to the magistrate's signature to his grant, Andros told him that their names were worth no more than a scratch with a bear's paw.
He also enforced the navigation laws and took possession of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Plymouth.
At the same time, he was also governor of New Hampshire and of New York.

The Glorious Revolution in America, 1689
By this time, Charles was dead, and James was King of England.
The English people did not like James any better than the New Englanders liked Andros.
In 1688, they rebelled and made William of Orange and his wife Mary, James' eldest daughter, King and Queen of England.
On their part, the Massachusetts colonists seized Andros and his followers and shut them up in prison, April 18, 1689.
The people of Connecticut and Rhode Island turned out Andros' agents and set up their old governments.
In New York, also, Andros' deputy governor was expelled, and the people took control of affairs until the king and queen should send out a governor.
Indeed, all the colonies, except Maryland, declared for William and Mary.

The New Arrangements For a year or two, William was very busy in Ireland and on the continent.
At length, he had time to attend to colonial affairs.
He appointed royal governors for both Pennsylvania and Maryland.
William Penn soon had his colony given back to him, but the Baltimores had to wait many years before they recovered Maryland.
In New York, there was a dreadful tragedy, for the new governor, Slaughter, was persuaded to order the execution of the leaders in the rising against Andros.
Massachusetts did not get her old charter back, but she got another charter.
