John Johnstone ( – 3 September 1732) was the 32nd Mayor of New York City from 1714 to 1719. Career An associate of George Scot of Pitlochie, he was a druggist from Edinburgh and emigrated to the Thirteen Colonies in 1685 aboard the Henry and Francis. Scot himself died on board the ship. In New Jersey, he was known as Dr. Johnstone. In 1686, Johnstone was granted a tract of 500 acres by the East New Jersey Proprietors on account of his wife and another 30,000 acres in 1701. In spite of his investment in East New Jersey land, John Johnstone eventually settled in New York and was elected to the New York General Assembly, serving in 1709 and 1710. Between 1710 and 1714 Johnstone represented Perth Amboy in the New Jersey General Assembly. By 1714 he was mayor of New York City, in which office he served until 1716.
