the word "CROATOAN" was carved into a fence post, and "CRO" was carved into a tree. These carvings may have indicated that at least some of the colonists had moved south to the village of Croatoan to live with the friendly natives. Before John White left Roanoke Island to return to England for more supplies, it had been agreed that if the colonists had to vacate their settlement under duress, a Maltese Cross would be also be carved indicating their distress. No Maltese Cross carving was found - only the words. The lack of the distress sign may indicate that the colonists left voluntarily rather than by force.
