What colony sent men to settle on Roanoke island?

Why did the first group from Roanoke give up and leave?

I'm not sure what you mean by "from roanoke', but here's a very short overview of the three groups that traveled to Roanoke Island. The 1584 group was a reconnaissance trip to find a suitable location for the establishment of a military bastion in the New World. It was not intended to be a permanent settlement. The second group, in 1585, consisting of 108 men, were to establish a military settlement on Roanoke Island. Deteriorating relation with the natives and a severe shortage of food and supplies created hardships for the fledgling settlement. The third group, consisting of approximately 120 men, women and boys, left England in May of 1587 intending to plant a permanent settlement on the Chesapeake Bay. They were dropped off at Roanoke Island. Their fate is a mystery and there were probably many reasons why they decided to leave the island. No definitive information is available, just theories.
