The Lost Colony of Roanoke, in Virginia, was first the English settlement in the New World. After not receiving supplies from England for two years, they sent their leader back to England to bring them supplies. He returned two years later to find the colony had vanished. Not a single person was there and there was no evidence of a fight. The only evidence they found was the world "CROATOAN" carved on a tree, and "CRO" on another tree nearby.
Because that means the people were safe. It was obvious that they went with a near tribe, that's why children not brought there, found there, had blue eyes eventually. Scientists don't believe this because the nearest tribe was against and hated the Americans.
Please tell me if you disagree. Thanks!
Yes I saw it this year over the summer.
Yes he did - Manteo, a close person with John White was of Croatoan decent, his tribe was from there. Because of this, the Croatoan group was considered "friendly".

The only clue left at Roanoke was the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree.
The word "CROATOAN" was carved into a tree at Roanoke, which is now known as the "Lost Colony" due to the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants.

CROATOAN
The only evidence left at Roanoke was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post and "CRO" carved into a tree. These carvings left by the settlers led historians to speculate that they may have moved to Croatoan Island.
John White was hopeful that his colony survived because he found the word "Croatoan" carved on a tree, which likely indicated that the colonists had moved to Croatoan Island or were with the nearby Croatoan people. He believed this meant they were alive and possibly seeking to join the Native American community there.
John White believed that the Roanoke settlers had moved to Croatoan Island. This belief was based on a carving of the word "Croatoan" found on a tree and the absence of a cross, which was meant to indicate a dire situation.
He found the tree of "CROA" ( which stands for Croatoan ) had no streak but no one was on the island of Roanoke. There are many theories of what happened to the colony, but no one really knows the real story.
The answer is unknown. If you do not like my answer look it up some other place. They just disappeared when the others came back. The only clue was Croatoan carved in a tree. They might have gone to the island Croatoan and maybe they never made it. This is just a guess.
i believe croatoan is a disease that caused the disappearance of roanoke
John White found the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree upon his return to the abandoned Roanoke settlement.
