My Theory They might have left Roanoke island and started settleing in Chesapeake Bay. They built rafts or boats from their houses. The natives killed the colonist to prevent more English settlers from stealing their land.
Background Information It was one of the 1st English colonies It wasn't successful John White's daughter would give birth to a baby named Virginia Dare which was the 1st english child born in America
The Lost Colony of Roanoke
The word ''Croaton'' was written across the trees or on a fence post. John White thought they went to Croatoan, he went to investegate, but couldn't.
Who, what, where, why, and how It was in 1587 when Gov. John White wanted to let 117 colonist, men and woman with children, to establish a new colony in Roanoke island, Virginia. They went on a ship and set sail to their destination.
Or they might have went to Croatoan.
The Significance or the important: It was the 1st colony that was missing and it was effected a lot of people in Britain. They're still looking for the colonists. It was a mystery that wasn't solve for lots and lots of years.
