The Virginia company of london
The company that paid for the settling in Virginia was the Virginia Company, a joint-stock company chartered by King James I in 1606. It aimed to establish a permanent English settlement in the New World and financed the establishment of Jamestown in 1607, which became the first permanent English settlement in North America. The company organized the expedition and provided the necessary resources for the settlers.

The English company expedition was primarily sponsored by joint-stock companies, notably the Virginia Company, which was established to fund English colonization efforts in North America. This company was backed by investors who sought profits from resources and trade in the New World. Additionally, the Crown's support played a significant role in legitimizing these expeditions and providing necessary resources for exploration and settlement.
John White's granddaughter was named Virginia Dare. She was the first English child born in the Americas, specifically on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Virginia Dare was born to Ananias Dare and Eleanor White Dare in 1587 during the Roanoke Colony expedition.
