- George_Burrington abstract "George Burrington (1682 – 22 February 1759) was the governor of the Province of North Carolina, from January 1724 to April 1725, and again from February 1731 to 1734.Not especially well educated or otherwise qualified for the position, Burrington gained his office by family influence. He was known principally for physically threatening other North Carolina officials, including most notably Chief Justice Christopher Gale. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina replaced him as governor because so many colonists complained about his behaviour.However, Burrington's successor, Sir Richard Everard, proved even more unpopular with the people of North Carolina and they eventually requested that Burrington be re-appointed. When the Crown bought the colony back from the Lords Proprietors in 1729, Burrington was appointed as the first royal governor of North Carolina. He was instrumental in exploring and settling the Cape Fear area of the colony and resided in Brunswick Town.He acquired a large amount of land but his son, also named George, sold it to Samuel Strudwick in order to clear debts incurred by the elder Burrington with the Strudwick family.Burrington's 1731–34 term was almost as controversial as his earlier one, and he was again dismissed. He later returned to England and was killed in an apparent robbery attempt on 22 February 1759 in St. James's Park, London.".
