I'd like to think it was possible, that they didn't just perish from hunger or slaughter, but intermarried with a friendly Indian tribe for survival.

That is one of the theories. There is a 'tribe' in SE N. Carolina called the Lumbee. Many of them have blond hair and they believe that trait is from Lost Colony survivors.

"That is one of the theories. There is a 'tribe' in SE N. Carolina called the Lumbee."

This isn't the correct spelling but isn't the some Indians of mixed blood in that region named Mulegeons? (or something like that)
