"The first actual settlement of the Scotch-Irish in North Carolina was not in the Piedmont, but in the Tidewater region; and they arrived by sea rather than by way of Pennsylvania. On November 29, 1735, Governor Johnston informed his Council that Arthur Dobbs (later to become governor of the provice), "and some other gentlemen of distinction in Ireland," and Mr. Henry McCulloch, a merchant of London (later agent for Lord Granville) had written him "respecting their intention of sending over to this province several poor Protestant families with design of raising flax and hemp." They asked for a grant of 60,000 acres of land in New Hanover County. Their request was granted and in the next year (1736) the settlers arrived at their land on the Black River (now Duplin County), where they organized themselves into two congregations, Goshen and the Grove. (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol IV pg 72-73)"
