There were some 120 members of the third Roanoke voyage (1587) who tried to settle on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Governor John White left the island in August of 1587 to return to England for more supplies. After he left there were no more first hand accounts of what transpired on Roanoke Island. By the time he returned in 1590 his colonists were gone. The next attempt at colonisation was in 1607 with the establishment of the Jamestown colony. So, it is impossible to say how many English colonists were in the New World in 1600. We do know that John White left, and we know that George Howe was killed while crabbing so that accounts for two of them. We also know that Virginia Dare was born on 18th August 1587. We do not know how many other colonists died, and we do not know if any other children were born.
