The First English child born in America was Virginia Dare, August 18, 1587. She was born on Roanoke Island and her parents were Ananias Dare and Eleanor White, two members of the colonists who settle Roanoke. Roanoke became famous as the Lost Colony, as no settlers remainded at the site when the Raleigh sent supplies back to the colony from Great Britain. Virginia Dare was also missing. A legend grew among Native Americans in the area that told of a young white women, mistaken for a white doe, who was shot through the heart with a silver arrow from a hunter's bow.
