Why did the first pilgrims colonists find much of the cleared land abandoned?

The colony of Roanoke, about 120 people (including 11 children), was established by the British in the late 1500's. The ship returned to Britain needing to bring back supplies. It was three years before a return trip could be made. Roanoke was found neatly and carefully disassembled, lending credence to the theory that they willingly left. One strong theory is that those earlier colonists assimilated into the local native cultures, leaving the area. When the pilgrims arrived in 1620, they found that there were native peoples with grey eyes and light hair among the tribes, and some English was known.
