False. Jamestown eventually flourished (after a period of hardship, starvation and madness) as an early colony of England. However the colony on Roanoke Island in the Virginia Colony did experience a mysterious disapperance of it's settlers. Roanoke was an earlier settlement as well-- settled sometime between 1585 and 1587. Jamestown was settled later (founded in 1607)
