This is a list of colonial governors of Virginia. Note: Some of those who held the lead role as governor of Virginia never visited the New World and governed through deputies resident in the colony. Others, such as Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, held the lead role for many years, but were only in Virginia a short portion of that time, delegating to others most of the time. Probably for those reasons, in many historical documents and references, the deputies and lieutenant governors who had the primary responsibility in Virginia are also often titled simply "governor". Also, transportation from England routinely took several months, and occasionally, much longer. Thus, dates may appear to overlap. ==Governors of Roanoke Colony (1585–c. 1590)== The first English attempt to colonize Virginia was the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke. Two unsuccessful settlements were established under two different governors, and the final fate of the colonists remains unknown. *Sir Walter Raleigh, "Lord and Governor of Virginia" (1585–c. 1590, absentee) * *Ralph Lane (1585–1586) * *John White (1587) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of colonial governors of Virginia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
