Barlowe, Arthur -- 1584 Reconnaissance & 1585-1586 military colony - Associated with venture, not necessarily passengers

 

1584 exploration of Roanoke Island was Captained by Captains Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe. They were to explore the North American coast for Sir Walter Raleigh.
The party of explorers landed on July 13,1584, on the North Carolina coast, about 7 leagues above Roanoke Island, and took possession of the country for Queen Elizabeth "as rightfull Queene" with the further proviso that the land was to be for the use of Sir Walter Raleigh, according to the Queen's charter.

Raleigh's First Colony, 1585-86 military colony
Raleigh sent a colony of 108 persons to Roanoke Island. The expedition, commanded by Raleigh's cousin, Sir Richard Grenville, sailed from Plymouth, England, on April 9, 1585, in seven ships, the largest of which was of 140 tons' burthen. It is not known if Arthur Barlowe was included in the group. He may have only been associated financially with venture, not necessarily a passenger.

From Roberta Estes:

 

Several of the Roanokers are "famous" enough to be recorded in standard biographical works, especially the Dictionary of American Biography and the Dictionary of National Biography. Amadas and Barlowe are examples of this and we need not make further mention of them.
