A friend of mine is a Lumbee indian (largest tribe east of the Mississippi river). For them, it's no mystery about where the "lost colony" went -- they were adopted into this tribe. (but who thinks of asking the folks who were actually here for the answers to historical questions?)

They were pushed west and ended up in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia where they are presently known as Melungeons.
