No. You know that there couldn't have been any in 1400 because Columbus didn't even discover America until 1492. The first English attempt at settlement was in the late 1500's on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. The first permanent English colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. The first settlements in Canada were French and it remained French until the English conquered it in the Seven Years War (Also called the French and Indian War) in the 1750's. Actualy your wrong. Leif Ericson was the first person to colonize Canada in about 1024. With his colony the Norse or Vikings. More input from FAQ Farmers: * Actually, I've heard musings of settlers in the Nova Scotia area around 1398, nearly a century before Columbus, if what I hear is correct they were Knights Templars who were escaping religious persecution and used old Nordic maps to arrive there. * There is NO prrof of settlement in Nova Scotia in the 1300's, BUT there is archeological proof of NORSE inhabitants in North West Newfoundland, at Lans"A Meadows, which is now a Canadian National Park. They were there for a number of years, at about 1,000 years ago. Can you guys make up your minds?!
