   LifeSketch: Early life in Scotland: Gabriel Johnston was born in Scotland in 1699. He was a physician, political writer, and professor of Oriental languages at the University of St. Andrews.greatly disturbed by the conditions he found in the province and deplored what he considered the moral laxity, the disregard for law, the inadequate educational facilities, and the oppression of the poor. Nevertheless, his administration witnessed an increase in wealth, population, and development of resources. The United Brethren purchased 100,000 acres of land and settled Wachovia. Another group emigrating in large numbers, and with especial appeal for the governor, was the Scots who settled in the Cape Fear region. Enforced union with England and a breakup in the clan system, as well as a pardon to all Scottish rebels who would emigrate, greatly stimulated their settlement in America. The General Assembly of North Carolina exempted all new settlers from taxation for ten years. The general assembly was probably motivated by a desire to increase immigration to the province, but doubtless the Scottish governor added weight to the measure.of North Carolina provided for the erection of a fort on the south bank of Cape Fear and named it in honor of Johnston.[1] Johnston County was also named after him. Gabriel Johnston was the longist serving governor, holding office for 18 years (1734-1752)
