Excellent but 17 days is not much time.

There are some indications in records relating to the early founding of Jamestown that there were English looking or actually genuine English people living among a tribe called the Cheasapeaks, who lived outside Powhatan's dominions and that Powhatan had this tribe massacred along with the English among them as he feared the latter would unite with the Jamestown settlers and threaten him.

As the original target of the Roanoke settlers was intended to be Cheasapeak Bay, this is not beyong the realm of possibility.

Its also possible that the Roanoke settlers scattered, or were forcibly scattered, after the relief convoy from England never arrived.

At any rate, it would be nice to know that Viginia Dare did survive and produce offspring. If she did, I hope her life was a long and happy one.
