Roanoke and Jamestown are 2 original settlements Jamestown was the one that never died off. Roanoke is a complete mystery. Roanoke completely disappeared. Both were funded by the Virginia company, and were established by the Quakers. They were early attempts at making colonial settlements.
The Roanoke Island colony, also known as the Lost Colony, was an early English settlement in present-day North Carolina. It was established in 1585 by Sir Walter Raleigh, but ultimately failed and its inhabitants disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The colony is considered "supported" in the sense that it received financial and logistical assistance from England, but was ultimately unsuccessful in its goal of establishing a permanent settlement.
The Roanoke Island colony was supported by Sir Walter Raleigh, who received a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to establish the first English colony in North America. Queen Elizabeth I also provided some financial and political support for the endeavor.
Sir Walter Raleigh was the govenor of the lost colony of Roanoke.
