-The Lost Colony is what they call Roanoke Colony which was a colony started in the 1585. The governor left to go to England telling them to leave a Maltese cross on one of the trees if they had left Roanoke Island because of any trouble.
When he came back a few years later, delayed by the Anglo-Spanish War, they found only a large empty palisade enclosure, around where the colony was, which wasn't there when he left. All the buildings were gone and the only signs of any life (apart from the palisade wall) was the Maltese Cross, CROATOAN on a tree, and CRO on another tree (indicating that they were writing Croatoan again and were interrupted.
They took CROATOAN to mean that they had left for Croatoan island just a few miles away, but due to a storm they couldn't sail to Croatoan island.
There have been a few hypotheses about the fates of the colonists (especially since no bodies were ever found), but people think they may have been captured by a tribe of local Chespian Indians and then massacred by chief Powhatan's tribe (Pocahontas's father) as he said he had massacred a local tribe and he has killed a group of white people who had been adopted into it. Powhatan also already had knowledge of Christianity (according to the Jamestown colonists) which may mean that some of the white people may have tried to convert Powhatan's tribe.
Hope this helps!
Edit (more info):
The first English child born in the Americas was Virginia Dare. She was born in the colony on 18th of August 1587. Her parents were Ananias Dare and Eleanor White.
White was the daughter of the governor of the colony, John White. He was the one who left and then came back the years later to find the colony abandoned (or maybe destroyed).
If you look back through my answer you'll find I've corrected some of my information.

Roanoke Island is best known in European-American history for its historical significance as the site of Sir Walter Raleigh's attempt to establish an English settlement with his Roanoke Colony in 1585 and 1587. The fate of the final group of colonists has never been determined, yielding persistent myths. Stories about the "Lost Colony" have circulated for over 400 years. In the 21st century, even as archaeologists, historians and scientists continue to work to resolve the mystery, visitors come to see the longest-running outdoor theater production in America: "The Lost Colony".
Croatoan was the word carved into a tree or post on the site of the original colony, but the group was never found, there have clues that one or two of them left the site with Native Americans and ended up marrying into the tribe, essentially vanishing into the continent. Mary Dare was said to be among them, the first child of Euro descent born on the continent.
There is more, but The Lost Colony were these folks from Roanoke Island.
The answer is the Colony of Roanoke.
The Roanoke Colony was the Second English colony in the New World, after St. John's in Newfoundland. It was founded at Roanoke Island in what was then Virginia (now North Carolina, United States) in two separate settlement groups, one in 1586, and a second group in 1587.
The enterprise was financed and organized by Sir Walter Raleigh, who had received a charter for the colonization of Virginia from Queen Elizabeth I of England.
The first settlers returned to England a year later after killing Winginia, leader of the natives; they had been running out of supplies. A second group of English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island on July 22, 1587 to re-establish the colony. Virginia Dare, granddaughter of Gov. John White of the colony, was born the next month on August 18th, becoming the first English child born in the Americas.
John White returned from a supply-trip to England on his granddaughter's third birthday after being postponed for three years by war, and found his settlement deserted. He organized a search, but his men could not find any trace of the colonists. Some 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children had disappeared; there was no sign of a struggle or battle of any kind, and the people seemed to have left suddenly in the middle of other tasks. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved on to a tree. White took this to mean that they had moved to Croatoan Island, but no evidence of them was found there either. What became of them is still a mystery; and Roanoke is often referred to as the Lost Colony. The site of the lost colony on the island is now a major tourist attraction, as is the North Carolina Aquarium.
It was the Roanoke settlement founded in 1587. When the Governor and others left in the summer of 1587 to return to England for supplies it was agreed that if the colonists who stayed were to move they would write the word Croatoan as a message to the returning ship. Once the Governor reached England his ship was ordered seized. Their timing couldn't have been worse. In what was to become one of history's greatest military cam[paigns England was under a threat of invasion by Spanish troops in what is now the Netherlands. In support a great fleet sailing from Cadiz, Spain would gain control of the channel, this fleet has become known as the Spanish Armada. in September 1588 the two fleets met in a running battle up the channel. In the end the Armada failed and a relief ship was sent to Roanoke. it arrived in 1589. the colony was abandoned and on a palisade was the word croatoan. No sign was ever found of these colonists. Years later settlers in Jamestown heard stories that the were killed by Chief Powhatan, who was the father of Pocahontas. other stories said the missing colonists had joined up with other Native Americans. In the 2000s a new piece of evidence came to light. In DNA testing of North Carolinian Native Americans the blood of one individual was traced back to England and yes he was related to a missing colonist from Roanoke. It seems they joined the Native Americans.
It wasent really lost though, the word they wrote "Croatoan" simply meant that they left to go to Croatoan Island.
england never left the colonies yet but gave them moor Freedom like canada Australia and others
