Nobody knows for sure. In 1587 117 men, women and boys (no girls) came to Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. In August of that year Governor John White returned to England for supplies. He did not return until 1590 by which time his colonists had left the settlement, leaving only two ambiguous clues as to their intended destination. It is entirely possible that the group fractured into smaller groups - some may have tried to sail back to England, some headed north for the Chesapeake Bay (their original intended destination), some headed south to join friendly native American groups, some headed west into the mainland. Much later there were reports from William Strachey that white people had been living with local native American groups around the Chesapeake. Most of the people had been killed by Powhatan (or his people) and the few who escaped were ultimately caught and enslaved.
