Father of British America

edit

Are there any sources that say Raleigh was the Father of British America since he founded a British colony on Roanoke Island in 1585 and 1587? Sir Francis Drake claimed New Albion for Queen Elizabeth in 1579, but no colony was set up, only a fort, to repair a ship. Cmguy777 (talk) 03:39, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Relevant to Legacy?

edit

"In January 2014, the Raleigh Rum Company was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina."

This appears under 'Legacy' with no explanation. Is it truly relevant to this bio that his last name was used to title an American rum company in 2014, especially when said company was named for the *city* and not the man?

I mean, should we add every company founded in every city bearing his name to this section? This seems ridiculous to me unless there is context I'm missing. TricksterWolf (talk) 14:34, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
