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.
The word "Croatoan" was carved on a post at the entrance to the palisado, and a similar "CRO" was carved on a tree. A secret sign that the settlers were forced was no inscribed anywhere. (The best explanation was that the settlers went to live with nearby Indian tribes, and were lost to accident or attacks.)
When John White returned to Roanoke after several years in England, he found the colony abandoned with no trace of the settlers. The only clue left behind was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post. The fate of the Roanoke settlers remains a mystery to this day.

When John White returned to the Roanoke colony in 1590, the only clue he found about the missing settlers was the word "CROATOAN" carved into a tree. This suggested that the settlers may have moved to Croatoan Island, which was nearby. However, despite searching the area, he found no trace of the colonists or any further evidence of their fate.

The settlers of Roanoke, known as the "Lost Colony," vanished around 1590. When John White returned to the colony after a three-year absence, he found it deserted, with no sign of the approximately 115 settlers who had been left behind. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post, suggesting a possible connection to a nearby island or tribe. The fate of the Roanoke settlers remains a mystery to this day.
