The Roanoke colonists left the settlement some time after Governor John White left in August of 1587. The next English attempt at colonization in the New World was in 1607 in Jamestown.
The settlers of Roanoke Island disappeared in 1590, and England's next attempt to establish a colony in Virginia occurred in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. Therefore, approximately 17 years passed between the disappearance of the Roanoke settlers and England's renewed efforts to establish a colony in the Americas.
