John White assumed that the colonists he had left behind at Roanoke Island had either been killed by hostile Native Americans or had assimilated with local tribes for survival. Upon his return in 1590, he found the settlement abandoned with no signs of a struggle, leading him to believe they had either fled or relocated. The word "Croatoan" carved into a tree suggested they may have gone to live with the Croatoan tribe. Ultimately, the fate of the Roanoke colonists remains a mystery.

Well, on one of the first trips back there was no sign of the 15 men they had left there, and there was only a skeleton left behind. In terms of the "Lost Colony" there were two clues. One was the word "CROATOAN" carved into the post of a fence, and CRO carved into a nearby tree.
