Very ironic: Just an hour ago I was googling Roanoake Island looking for a vacation destination. And NOW I'm sold! I'm going there.........film at eleven........................~ Look a couple of miles east, in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills or Kitty Hawk. Even further north, in Duck or Corrola. I've spent many a happy vacation hours in the Outer Banks over the past 40 years, but I prefer to be close enough to the ocean to hear the surf. The only place that I've found better on the East Coast (speaking liberally) is the Keys, in Florida.

Thanks for the tips. Kitty Hawk sounds great. I'm getting excited; the Outer Bank is looking really good!

P.S. My family wouldn't qualify.
I guess you'd call us newbies.

Most of my family has been in Florida since the late 1700's. My Great-Grandfather came from Georgia in 1873 and we still consider him an interloper.

#24 wasn't supposed to be me talking to myself (though I do that often)... further disclaimer: None of my ancestors ever settled in VA, either.
I guess we could claim the title of one of the Last Conservative Families in nuclear-free Takoma Park, MD though.

Didn't later explorers run across some groups of Indians with light-colored eyes that could have been the descendants of the intermarriage of the English lost colony and native Americans?

"Didn't later explorers run across some groups of Indians with light-colored eyes that could have been the descendants of the intermarriage of the English lost colony and native Americans?" Many stories like that one...none proven that I know of.

None proven that I know of. Well, they didn't have video cameras back then! 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.

"Co- Captain Arthur Barlowe.I found his knife,Barlow printed right on the blade,in the Mo. Ozarks,definite proof they moved West. ;)" That's fascinating. One of these captains or co-captains daughters were lost with this group.

" 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." It could easily have happened. I read something else on this story and the Indians they possibly went with. I just remember one thing right now.

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.

Would that be the mother of Virginia Dare?

"Would that be the mother of Virginia Dare?" Don't think so. The woman I'm talking about was lost with the Lost Colony.
Virginia Dare was the first child of English parents born in America.

"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)

"Virginia Dare was the first child of English parents born in America." Of course. My mistake.

I think your link explains that Virginia dare and her mother were amongst those who disappeared.
I read a headstone had been found that had one of the Dare's names on it but don't remember if it was a good find or a hoax.
I'm not very good with searching for such things but the story shouldn't be hard to find for anyone interested.
