People went to Roanoke in search of economic opportunities, such as farming and trade. The promise of new land and resources also attracted settlers to the area. Additionally, some were seeking religious freedom and a fresh start in the New World.
The first group that went to Roanoke, known as the Roanoke Colony, gave up and returned home after facing harsh conditions, lack of resources, and tensions with the Native American tribes in the area. Their leader, John White, went back to England to seek help and when he returned, the entire colony had vanished, leading to the mystery of the "Lost Colony of Roanoke."
People from England went to Roanoke Island in 1585 as part of Sir Walter Raleigh's attempt to establish a permanent English settlement in the New World. They aimed to establish a base for future expeditions and to explore the region for potential resources and trade opportunities.

Ralegh never went to Roanoke. He organized and had a share in the first two Roanoke voyages but his participation in the third (1587) voyage was minor. At no time did he ever set foot on Roanoke Island. As for the number of people on the third voyage, it is unknown exactly how many, but somewhere between 117 and 120 is the generally accepted guess. There is a ships' list which gives the names of the people on board, but there are some anomalies such as repetition of names. It is unknown whether there were actually two people with the same name or if it merely a clerical error. Also unknown is the number of people (if any) who died during the voyage. It is also unknown how many (if any) people decided to abandon the voyage and left the enterprise before the final departure. It is also unknown how many (if any) joined the enterprise after the ships' list had been compiled. One thing is sure - Ralegh did not accompany that or either of the earlier voyages to Roanoke Island.
