On 5 March 1496, King Henry VII of England issued letters patent to John Cabot (signed documents show that he referred to himself as "Zuan Chabotto") to explore the unknown lands across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1496 Cabot set out from Bristol, England with one ship, but was forced to return because of disputes with the crew. Cabot's next two voyages across the Atlantic are important for having established the English claim to North America. On 5 August 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert formally claimed Newfoundland as England's first overseas' colony under Royal Prerogative of Queen Elizabeth I.
If you count Roanoke as the first colony, then, it would be Jamestown. If you count Jamestown as the first, then it would be Plymouth.

so that he would conqueur it and establish a colony
The first English colony in North America was Roanoke, the settlers arrived in July 1584.Roanoke (in present-day North Carolina) was the first colony, but it was a dismal failure. The colonist disappeared without explanation and it came to be known as "The Lost Colony". About 20 years later Jamestown was established.
Eager to move beyond the mysterious disappearance of the first settlement of Roanoke, Jamestown was established in 1607. It became the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. It served as the capital of Virginia Colony from 1616 until 1699.
Sir Walter Raleigh's first attempt to establish the first English colony in the New World was in Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. This settlement later became known as the "Lost Colony" after its mysterious disappearance.

In the 1580s, the English failed to establish a colony at Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. The first attempt in 1585, led by Sir Walter Raleigh, resulted in a struggling settlement that was abandoned. A second attempt in 1587, known as the "Lost Colony," ended in mystery when all the settlers disappeared by the time a supply ship returned in 1590. The reasons for the failure include insufficient supplies, poor relations with local Indigenous tribes, and the challenges of sustaining a colony in a new environment.
The first English colony to be established in the New World was the Jamestown colony. The last English colony in the New World was British Colombia which was not colonized until the mid 1800s.
