| Roanoke Colony Trivia |
|---|
*The name Roanoke is derived from the Indian word, "Raw-re-nock," meaning shell money. The Indians would often trade their beads made from shells and called wampum for goods.
*English explorers Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe sailed by in 1584, landed above Roanoke Island, and claimed the landed for Queen Elizabeth.
*After its discovery, Sir Walter Raleigh brought over a party of English colonists, who settled on Roanoke Island, off the northeast coast of North Carolina. This first group of colonists abandoned Roanoke in 1586 and returned to England.
*Virginia Dare, born to Eleanor Dare, was the first English child born in America
*John White, appointed by Sir Walter Raleigh, became the first governor of the Roanoke colony. When the colony needed more supplies, he returned to England for supplies, but was unable to return to Roanoke for three years due to French pirate attacks and England’s war with Spain. Finally, in August 1590, White returned to Roanoke Island and found no one.
* The group of colonists who disappeared after three years when supplies from England ceased to arrive became known as "The Lost Colony" and their fate is still unknown.
*116 colonists - 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children disappeared from "The Lost Colony".
*What happened to the colonists at Roanoke in 1587 is one of America's greatest mysteries.
*To this day, no one has explained the meaning of "Croatoan" carved into a tree at Roanoke. Croatoan was the only word that was found when Raleigh returned to the Colony.
