The correct answer is Sir Walter Raleigh

Raleigh set sail to America with his half-brother Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1578. This expedition is believed to have inspired his plan to found a colony in North America. In 1585, he sponsored the first English colony in America on Roanoke Island which is present day North Carolina
