The English colony was called Roanoke and was located in the Virginia colony. John White was the leader/governor. The first English child was born there; Virginia Dare (White's granddaughter). Dare, along with the other colonists, disappeared in 1587 while White went back to England for more supplies. No attempts at English colonization would take place until 1607 at Jamestown.
