		The word "Croatoan" was carved into a tree near the palisade encircling the fort; the letters "CRO" were found on another tree.

		It seems not to occur to researchers that the "Croatoan" and "Cro" signs at Roanoke Island in 1590 directed John White or other Englishmen to the Croatoans only for information about the 1587 colony rather than indicating where the colonists would be found.
		Given the meager means of the Croatoans, it is unlikely, in any case, that they could have entertained the 1587 colony for more than a brief period.
		(Note, for example, the Croatoans' concern in July, 1587 lest White's people "gather or spill any" Croatoan corn, "for that they had but little" [Quinn 2: 526].) The same objection applies to Quinn's conjecture that perhaps twenty or so 1587 colonists were sent to Croatoan Island to await White's return from England.
