Ferdinand Brock Tupper (1795 – 1874), was one of the leading historians of the Channel Islands.
After a near-mutiny at Fort George, Ontario, it was Tupper who reported by letter on the courts-martial (and subsequent executions of several) of the accused to Brock, and evidently corresponded with the General until the latter's death at the Battle of Queenston Heights.
Brock Tupper went on to publish Chronicles of Castle Cornet with details of its nine years siege during the civil wars, and frequent notices of the Channel Islands in 1851 and History of Guernsey and its Bailiwick; with occasional notices of Jersey in 1854.
Brock Tupper married Mary Ann Herbert, and they had two daughters, Henrietta and Emily.
He died in 1874 leaving his elder daughter, Henrietta, as his literary executrix.
