In reply to haha. actually, they were driven out by a flood. they went to live w/ croatoans. the scientists found evidence of this on tree rings, as well as the croatoans were found w/ english surnames & houses. Also, they found CROATOAN carved into a fencepost.

Well you would think if the tribes had taken the remaining settlers as slaves then when White came looking they would have still been alive and he would have at least recognized at least one and if yhe kept the english children then when he went to the tribe there would have been white children in the tribe as well but now I could see them using the houses to build a boat to go to the mainland and leaving the fences cause they didn’t need them and the croaton being there expected destination but if they incountered a tropical storm and was blowin off course or sank then there wouldn’t be a trace of them and back then they didn’t have the tech to search the bottom of the ocean like we do so maybe they should be looking in the water for the evidence just saying

In reply to taylor. I THINK THE SPANISH GOT THERE BEFORE SIR WALTER RALEIGH, DI-SIDED TO KIDNAP ALL THE PEOPLE OF ROANOKE, AND ON THERE WAY BACK TO SPAIN THEY ENDED UP FIGHTING WITH SIR WALTER RALEIGH AND HIS CREW AND THE SPANISH HAD CARVED "CROATOA" ON A TREE IN ORDER TO BLAIM IT ON THE CROATOAN SO THEY WOULDN'T BE A SUSPECT. WHEN THEY GOT BACK FROM ROANOKE THEY PROBABLY KILLED THE PEOPLE OF ROANOKE WHEN THEY GOT BAKE TO SPAIN SO THERE WOULDN'T BE A SIGN OF THEM DIEING IN ROANOKE.

I believe that the people of Roanoke decided that John white was not going to come back, so they decided to take down their houses to use as supplies when the split up to look for new land or join claimed land. It is very common that people will split up in survival situations. They decided to leave up the fence so people could believe there was still a colony taking place in case they needed to come back. When they spread out, they must of carved their destinations in objects, because going up north from Roanoke Island, names of tribes and places were carved in objects such as trees, rocks, etc. There must have been people that joined the Native Tribes that they had a feud with over a stolen silver bowl that was found in Native American hands. This explains the English members of the Native American tribes. Lastly, I think the corpse of the one person left was as a symbol of warning to any probable attackers or intruders. I’m just an 11 year old boy in Gifted 5th Grade, and according to my research, this is the theory that makes the most sense in my opinion. Oh, and for those that believe they left and took down their houses to make ships for transportation, why leave the fence, why leave the carving in the tree saying “CROATOAN”, and why were there English Native American members in the tribes that there was a feud between over the silver bowl I mentioned earlier. So many things just don’t add up. 🙂

In reply to Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:). Why would they do that if they were the most friendliest tribes to the colonists on Roanoke Island?

In reply to taylor. First of all, how do explain the vanished houses and second of all, wouldn't there have been corpses?

In reply to jump rope king. I don't think the houses were burned down because wouldn't there be ashes or any proof of building being burned down. Plus, if they were burned down, why would they leave the fence standing. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, I'm just saying. By the way I'm 11.
