   Of course! The Roanoke colony was made up of
wizards and witches and disappeared deliberately!
   Sir Francis Drake evacuated the first colony at
Roanoke, and everybody knows he was a wizard. He
undoubtedly suggested to others in the Wizarding
community that the new land, Virginia, would be a fine
place to get away from the threat of Muggle
persecution. 
   The colonists who signed on for Sir Walter
Raleigh's second try at colonization were a mixed bag
of Muggles and Wizards, the former not realizing the
latter had their own agenda. After the colonizers'
ship left taking John White to England it wasn't
difficult for the Wizard half of the expedition to
engineer a seperation. The colonists were originally
intended to settle in the chesapeake region so it was
easy to guide the Muggles into deciding to move on up
there while the Wizards, who included most of the
women and children, stayed behind to wait for the
ship. 
   Or so they said. The moment the Muggle contingent
was well away the Wizard colonists abandoned the
stockade on Roanoke to join forces with a tribe of
native American Wizards, the Croatans. Leaving the
name Croatan carved on a post for John White to find
so he'd know all had gone as planned.
   What wasn't planned was the mysterious
disappearance of the Muggle colonists. John White was
never able to locate them dispite repeated efforts,
nor were the Wizard colonists. It seems most likely
that they, like the Wizards, joined forces with a
friendly Indian tribe in the Chesapeake region and
were eventually massacred along with their hosts by
Chief Powhattan, (father of Pocahontas).
