John Lawson, 1700
“On Roanoake Island I met a band of natives called the Hatteras. They told me their ancestors were white people who could ‘talk in a book.’ They had blue-grey eyes unlike any other natives and were very friendly to us.”
Thomas Sands, 1629
“In the trees outside our walls, I saw a young boy (6 or 7) with blonde hair. He was dressed like the other natives, but his skin was lighter. I called to him hoping to speak with him. At the sound of my words, he ran off into the forest.”
