His word is all we have to go on which left everything a mystery about the fate of everyone he left there including his own family. He knew they were all dead. That's why he never seriously tried to find them inland or on the other island "Croaton." He sailed away never to return and basically disappeared from history after his one return voyage. You think he would have tried to find his loved ones until the day he died but no other English speaking settlers came for more than 20 years. Unless DNA testing ever proves a direct link between a known descendant of the Roanoke settlers and the native population it stands to reason everyone died and the mysterious disappearance story was made up to save face for White, who left everyone there, and to save face for the crown so future settlers wouldn't be looking back at two failed English settlements. The first one failed when everyone sailed back to England after 10 months of brutal hardship and attacks by natives. The second failed when everyone left behind from the 1587 colony certainly died before the Governor returned.

I think this because if they did, why wouldn’t they tell people about it? Was it simply because that they thought that this would scare away new settlers? There was plenty of other land for others to settle, and if new settlers came, they could just steer clear of the Roanoke area. Also, if they were to cover it up, wouldn’t we be able to find just a little something after over 400 years? Was there no record of what John WHite saw? Wouldn’t we have found something to point us in the right direction if archaeologists having digging at the sight for so long? Finally, John White’s daughter and granddaughter were there, wouldn’t he wanted to find out what had happened to them if he hadn’t seen the bodies? Why would he just forget and leave his family there? All in all, I think that John White and Queen Elizabeth had no idea what had happened to the settlers at Roanoke, so they didn’t cover anything up. I think the colonists just disappeared, maybe going to a nearby Croatan colony, or maybe ransacked by natives, but I do not think John White or Queen Elizabeth knew anything about it.<br />Sofia T, Period 1-2 BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-4688067776052718692013-11-17T15:35:14.144-05:002013-11-17T15:35:14.144-05:00My theory of what happened to roanoke was that Joh...My theory of what happened to roanoke was that John White lied about there being no one there.I think that he lied because why would there be no traces of anyone being there?Other theories say that the people could have been killed by a drought that lead to lack of food or even a storm,but if this did happen where would the people have gone, or there houses, or even anything!I think that John Smith lied and actually saw dead bodies and didn't tell the people because because if they knew that the people of that colony died they would not want to move to the new colony.<br /> Kate W Period 5-9 BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-62240441565741122652013-11-17T15:14:55.454-05:002013-11-17T15:14:55.454-05:00I believe Queen Elizabeth and John White did not m...I believe Queen Elizabeth and John White did not make up the story of "the lost colony,". I think people just want an answer to any mystery, so they will blame anyone. The Queen and John White couldn't have keep that big of an secret, anyway. They might of blamed the Croatons with the tree because the colony starved.

For instance, when you used the example of how “they would flip out and no one would want to go to Roanoke again.” Is a prime example of how this would be a drastic loss for Queen Elizabeth since she founded the voyage; so, it’s logical to have the inference that she covered it up leaving a variety of theories on what happened to the Lost Colony. Just like in present day, our society has bad habits of telling white lies and trying to hide our mistakes, because of this similarity multiple parts of our history have unanswered questions, this being one. ~ Sophia Z.

I believe this because before John White left he said if you ever leave Roanoke write where you went or who you went with on the trees. When John White returned to Roanoke he saw writing on the trees. It was about the other Indians near by. When White went to the other Indians he saw some with blue and grey eyes which was a relief because he knew that many Indians naturally had brown eyes. So when he saw Indians with blue/grey eyes he knew that his family was here.<br /><br />Victoria C Period 5-9BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824619214681709929.post-43893540185192095122013-10-05T20:40:15.519-04:002013-10-05T20:40:15.519-04:00It is possible that Queen Elizabeth knew what happ...It is possible that Queen Elizabeth knew what happened to the colony of Roanoke.
