Gwen,Have you read the postings about the "Lost Colony of Roanoke"? It tells of the people of the colony leaving their settlement and integrating with the Croatan Indians (theory).
There was a tree(or two) with the words Croat and Croatan carve into the bark. They were supposed to have married back into the white race, thus giving their Indian blood to some of the southern families. Women were in short supply, and men wanted wives. Look it up. Makes interesting reading. The story even names the Brooks men associated with the pirate, "Blackbeard" and were killed for that mistake by the government.Iris
