When John White returned to Roanoke Island in 1590, he found the settlement abandoned with only the word "Croatoan" carved on a post and "Cro" on a tree. The fate of the lost colony of Roanoke remains a mystery.
The colonists for Roanoke came on multiple ships, with the main expedition led by Sir Richard Grenville arriving in 1585. John White later led another group in 1587, which established the ill-fated Roanoke Colony.
An important event in Roanoke Island in 1587 was the establishment of the Roanoke Colony, also known as the Lost Colony. Led by John White, a group of English settlers landed on the island to establish the first permanent English settlement in North America. However, when White returned from England in 1590, the colonists had mysteriously disappeared, leading to the enduring mystery of the Lost Colony.
In 1585, an English colony was established on Roanoke Island under the leadership of Sir Walter Raleigh. The settlers faced challenges such as harsh weather, limited resources, and conflicts with the Native Americans. After a year, the colonists returned to England for supplies, and when they eventually came back, the settlement had disappeared, leading to the mystery of the "Lost Colony of Roanoke".
If you mean the 1587 colony - popularly known as "the lost colony" - the settlers did not return to England. Governor John White left Roanoke Island in August of 1587 and returned to England to secure more supplies. The remainder of the settlers stayed on Roanoke Island. When John White came back to the island in 1590 he found no trace of his colony. Their fate is unknown. There are several theories as to what might have happened to them; some may have moved south to live with the friendly natives and some may have tried to sail back to England. There is some evidence to support the theory that some moved north towards the Chesapeake. The two earlier voyages (1584 and 1585) were largely reconnaissance voyages to scout suitable locations for military bastions. Neither of these voyages included women and children. The 1585 members left Roanoke Island with Sir Francis Drake, leaving 15 men there to take care of the fort. Bad leadership, blunders and cruelty towards the natives, and lack of supplies were largely responsible for the failure of this attempt at colonization and when Sir Francis Drake arrived at Roanoke Island the men were only too glad to return to England.
The Roanoke settlers came to the new world in search of economic opportunities, including finding new resources for trade and potentially establishing a permanent colony. They also sought to escape religious persecution and political unrest in England.
