The Lost Colony :O

By Jack

117 People of England went to start a colony for Queen Elizabeth I.  The Captain refused to sail them any further than Roanoke island. So the colony stopped there to settle.  Some sailed back to England because of a storm. Then a drought happened. The worst in the state of North Carolina. They went missing. And on a tree there was a word Croatoan. IT IS CREEPY! They were either ambushed by the Croatoan or they went to Croatoan island. The leader's ring was found on Croatoan island. So that is a clue that some of them went to Croatoan or some went inland. Recently pottery has been found that is from the same time as the Roanoke settlement. And some descendants are still alive. It could have been 2 people named James Payne and Michael Payne who share the same ancestor.... James lives in England and Michael lives in North Carolina. This still remains a mystery today. Some Payne ancestors are found all over NC and the UK. People still struggle to find the truth.
