André, John (1751–80), came to America (1774) as a lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers, and during the Revolutionary War was promoted to the rank of major. In 1780 he carried on secret negotiations with Benedict Arnold, when that American officer attempted to betray West Point. André was tried as a spy at Washington's headquarters, and was hanged for this offense despite official British protests and popular sympathy aroused by his engaging personality. He is the subject of plays named for him by William Dunlap, Clyde Fitch, and Philip Freneau, and figures often in fiction, e.g. P.L. Ford's
Janice Meredith.
