Thanks. The last time I read anything about it, they seemed to still be arguing about exactly where it was. Has it been continuously inhabited as “Jamestown?”

I grew up in eastern NC.

The Roanoke colony, aka the Lost Colony, was the brain child of Sir Walter Raleigh and was founded on Roanoke Island in modern day Dare County North Carolina in 1585. The county is named for Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World.

Sure, Roanoke was the disappearing settlement. Yanks and Rebs for a battle near Jamestown, well known place.
