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 Raleigh sent supplies back to the colony from Great Britain. When Raleigh's agents found the colony, all that was left were abandoned buildings and the word "CROATOAN" carved on one of the buildings. The men assumed the settlers had moved to Croatan Island near Cape Hatteras. But sailing there, they found no trace of the colonists. Some historians think the settlers could not survive on their own and they moved in with some local Indians, the Lumbee Tribe. The members of the Lumbee Tribe today claim that is what happened. Virginia Dare was also among the missing colonists. 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.
