It is beleived that some of the Roanoke colonists may have been taken in by native tribes, however there is no evidence to believe this was a "rescue", the native people were known to take captives and some of the Roanoke colonists may have been kept alive as slaves.
The word Croatoan. It is the name of an island to the south of Roanoke and a native tribe that lived there. To this day, we have no idea why it was written there.
The Spanish may have been to blame. All effort had to be placed into defeating the Spanish Armada, and Raleigh was prevented from maintaining contact with the Roanoke colony. By the time relief could be sent to Roanoke, the entire colony had disappeared. It is supposed that they felt themselves abandoned by England and left the colony to live with the native population, but their exact fate is unknown. The Jamestown colony was decimated by starvation and disease, but the colonists at Roanoke vanished entirely.
The Colonial Era started with the first European Colonists to the Americas. Before that time there was very little contact between Europe and the Americas. The American continents were occupied by the Native American population.

Yes, that's correct. Sir Walter Raleigh funded the Roanoke colony in 1585, but when he returned in 1590, the colonists were gone. The disappearance of the colonists, including the word "CROATOAN" carved into a post, remains a mystery to this day.
