It's the Roanoke Colony you are talking about, actually. Same place, different people. Jamestown, Virginia, was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America.

Before the Jamestown people settled there, there had been a colony living there called the Roanoke colony. Nobody knows what happened to the Roanoke settlers. It seems they just vanished without a trace one day. No bodies were found, even. All of the houses had been deliberately dismantled, so apparently they did not leave in a hurry. The only clue ever found were two carvings in two different tree trunks, which read, "Croatoan," and "Cro," respectively.
