If you didn't already know, his death is still as mysterious as ever. Edgar Allen Poe famously disappeared for a while before he died in 1849. We'll start with the creepiest one first. If you’re in the mood to help us play detective, read on and learn about the top fifteen theories of what could have happened. Here's the weirdest part - there were no signs of battles, famine, disease, or foul play. But when the ship arrived in 1590, all of the settlers were gone. The mother country agreed to send a rescue ship to equip them with what they needed. They sent their Governor, John White, back to England to bring back more food, supplies, and people. As the story goes, a harsh winter hit them, and they began to run dangerously low on food and supplies. First settled in 1585, one hundred and sixteen English men, women, and children came to live in the new colony. The English didn't obtain their dream of riches, pillages, and plunders. Even Captain John Smith tried to figure out what happened to Roanoke Colony. Over 400 years later, historians are still working to solve this mystery.

1587, an entire colony of English settlers disappeared in North Carolina without a trace the only clue was the word 'Croatoan' carved into a tree. The Powhatan may have been involved in one of history's most bizarre disappearances. Like for instance Wayne Newton who is a Las Vegas entertainer and also First Lady Edith Wilson.

However, there are still some descendants of Pocahontas and some are even famous for themselves. His grave marker says “Son of Pocahontas” and there’s no other description of who he was or what was he like as a person. Thomas Rolfe spent the rest of his life being defined by who his parents were and that’s still the case today. His half-sister, Pocahontas’s first daughter was also left some land but unfortunately, the two siblings never met. Since John also owned a large portion of land in Virginia, Thomas was left the land that once belonged to the Powhatan people. After John had died, he left everything he owned in his last will to Thomas. Even though Thomas might not have even been John’s biological son, he was still his only child and therefore his sole heir. John Rolfe was never wanted to share any of his money with Thomas while he was alive, but you can’t keep your money after you’re dead. Even though America was Thomas’s true home where he had family that would accept him and be able to tell him stories about his mother, he wasn’t allowed to visit it. The English were scared that if he chose to move to America forever, it would seem like he was kept there against his will. Even though Thomas Rolfe probably didn’t even remember his mother very much, he was still very famous because of her.
