He was an artist and although he had been to Roanoke Island on a previous voyage he was neither a military leader nor a natural leader of men. His daughter Eleanor and son-in-law Ananias Dare were also among the colonists and Governor White's grand-daughter, Virginia, was born on Roanoke Island on 18th August 1587. John White returned to England to obtain supplies and did not return to Roanoke Island until 1590. The fate of the colony remains a mystery.

When did sir Walter Raleigh begin exploring?
Ralegh didn't discover Virginia. Ralegh never came to what is now the United States of America. He was instrumental in putting together the first two Roanoke Voyages - the first one was in 1585. By 1587 when the colony now known as 'the lost colony' embarked for the New World, Ralegh had effectively given up his sponsorship. The colonists came to Roanoke Island where the first two voyages had landed. The colony, however, was not bound for Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, as a final destination point - they were supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay in what is now Virginia. They were put off at Roanoke Island. The entire area was at that time called Virginia, in honor of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen.
