| | Roanoke Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Roanoke Island is an island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, United States. |
 | | The Lumbee, an indigenous people living to the southwest of Roanoke Island in present-day Robeson, Scotland, Hoke, and Cumberland counties, North Carolina, were purported to be the descendants of some of the "Lost Colony" settlers. |
 | | On the other hand, American anthropologist Lee Miller, in Roanoke: Solving the Mystery of the Lost Colony proposed that the expedition was sabotaged from the beginning by Sir Walter Raleigh's rival at court, Elizabeth's "spymaster," Francis Walsingham, while other theorists contend that the colony moved wholesale, and was later destroyed. |
