In July of 1587 a colony of some 117 men, women and boys arrived on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina. They established a settlement. In August of that year Governor John White left the island to return to England for more supplies. When he finally returned to the island in 1580 all traces of his colony had disappeared and only two crypic clues remained to indicate where at least some of the colonists had gone. There is no definitive information as to the colonists' fate. Some may have moved south to merge with the Croatoan indians, some may have tried to sail back to England and some may have moved inland. There is evidence that at least some colonists moved north to the Chesapeake (their original intended destination).
