John White (1540-1593) English artist and one of several early English colonists who sailed with Sir Richard Grenville's expedition in 1585. During his time at Roanoke Island he made numerous famous drawings with watercolors of the landscapes and native people. His superb watercolors of native plants, animals and Indian life, give us an insight into what the English found during their explorations. White was described as a "Gentleman of London" became Governor of the second Roanoke colony in 1587. He led a band of settlers sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh under the authority of the Virginia Company. He was the father of Eleanor Dare and grandfather of Virginia Dare, the first English born child in the New World. He returned to England for much needed supplies and was not able to return to Roanoke Island until 1590 where he found the colony empty. He spent the remainder of his life in England and Ireland.
Queen Elizabeth (1533-1603) was probably England's most popular sovereign. In March 1584 she granted Sir Walter Raleigh a patent entitling him to occupy such lands as he may discover in the name of the crown of England. As a result of this patent, she was the benefactor of Virginia. In honor of her, the "Virgin Queen," the name Virginia was given to the territory claimed by Raleigh's men in the New World. Elizabeth I has been credited with the devotion to duty and love of her country that has made "England" stand forever
Manteo was the Chief of a local Native American tribe that befriended the Ralph Lane colony that arrived on Roanoke Island in 1585. Arriving too late in the year to plant crops and harvest for food, Manteo helped the colonists to avoid starvation until they were able to provide food for themselves. He made two trips to England and was listed among those sailing for the New World in 1587 with Governor White and his colonists. By the command of Sir Walter Raleigh, Manteo was christened on Roanoke Island and invested with the title of a feudal baron, Lord of Roanoke and Dasamonqueponke on Sunday, August 13, 1587. This was the first peerage elected by the English in America. Manteo was also the first Native American to be received into the Church of England. It was Manteo and his people at Croatoan that the colonists expected to turn to in case of need until Governor White returned from England with supplies.
Sir Walter Raleigh (1522-1618) Born to a protestant family in Devon he is one of the most colorful characters in English history. Navigator, historian, soldier, poet and explorer, he initiated the Roanoke voyages and English colonization of the New World. Raleigh never visited the New World. He is credited with having introduced both the potato and tobacco to England from America. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1585. It is historically true that the episode of the cloak thrown in the puddle for Queen Elizabeth I did indeed happen. It was from this incident that Raleigh's favor with the Queen grew.
Eleanor White Dare (1563-?) One of the sixteen women who left England in 1587 --as part of the Roanoke expedition. She was the daughter of Governor John White and wife of Ananias Dare. Eleanor gave birth to Virginia Dare, the first child of English parents born in North America on August 18, 1587 shortly after their arrival from England. She disappeared with the colony while her father Governor White returned to England for supplies.
Simon Fernandez was a Portuguese navigator from Azores Island. He piloted the Roanoke Voyages from 1584 to 1587. Fernandez was by trade a privateer in the escalating war between England and Spain. The Chesapeake Bay area was originally the decided area for the 1587 voyage with Governor White and his colonists. By the time the caravan arrived at Roanoke Island to check on the fifteen men that were left a year earlier, he had grown inpatient with Governor White and anxious to resume the hunt for Spanish trading. He ordered the colonists ashore on Roanoke Island and abandoned the idea of taking the colonists to the Chesapeake Bay area. Ten days later, Fernandez departed for England taking along the anxious John White, who reluctantly decided to return to England for supplies.
May 8 Three ships departedPlymouth, England and set sail forVirginia. They carried 119 colonists, 9 assistants, Governor John White, and the Native Americans, Manteo & Towaye. Simon Fernandez was master and pilot.
Life in the Roanoke colony began for the 119 colonist when they left Plymouth, England on May 8th, 1587 in three ships. Simon Fernandez was in charge of the voyage as lead captain. They arrived off the coast of Roanoke Island on July 16. On July 22 the colonists get off the ships and arrive on the island to find no one there.
The colonists began their new life by making repairs to the houses that had been built by the men who had occupied the area before.
They also began to till the ground and plant crops such as corn, tobacco, indigo, and rice. It would have been very difficult to raise crops on Roanoke Island because the ground was so sandy and the air was so salty.
At first all the Native Americans were friendly with the new settlers. They helped them plant crops and served as guides along the coastal waterways. They even traded with them. But it wasnt long before some of the Native Americans began to worry about what the white settlers were going to do.
Before the Roanoke Colony settlers arrived the small number of white men that had settled in the area had a serious fight in which one of the tribal leaders, Wingina, was killed along with several of the settlers. By the time the Roanoke settlers arrived only the Croatoan tribe was still friendly with the English .
