Andrew Le Mercier was a clergyman, pastor of the French Huguenot Church in Boston in the 18th century, and writer.
Le Mercier completed his ecclesiastical training at the Geneva Academy and in 1716 arrived in Boston (Massachusetts Bay, then an English colony) and began working as a pastor. He was active in establishing a settlement for shipwrecked men on the infamous Sable Island. The pastor also sent provisions there, which saved many lives.
Andrew Le Mercier wrote The Ecclesiastical History of Geneva in Five Books, with a Political and Geographical Description of that Republic (Boston, 1732) and A Treatise Against Diminution (1733).
