the presence of certain haplogroups may date from the Roman era when Romans from North Africa are known to have settled in Britain. The haplogroup T has been observed among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt. Some non-basal haplogroup T clades are also commonly found among the Niger-Congo of West and Central Africa. Fossils excavated at the Late Neolithic site of Kelif el Boroud in Morocco, North Africa, which have been dated to around 3,000 BC, have been observed to carry a T2 subclade.

In 1901 in York, England, a skeleton, who would later be called the “Ivory Bangle Lady”, was discovered and subsequently dated to the second half of the 4th century AD. Buried in a stone coffin her remains were found with ivory bracelets, earrings, pendants, and other expensive possessions indicating that she held a high-ranking position within Roman York. Isotope analysis showed she had spent her early years in a warmer climate whilst her skull shape suggested she had some North African ancestry.

Bryan Sykes, was a British geneticist and Emeritus Professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford, reported "although the Romans ruled (Britain) from AD 43 until 410, they left a tiny genetic footprint." The genetics of some visibly Caucasian people living in England suggests that they are "descended from North African, Middle Eastern and Roman clans".

Geneticists have shown that former American president Thomas Jefferson carried a Y chromosome marker T (formerly called K2). This is typically found in East Africa and the Middle East. Its Y-STR (short tandem repeat) haplotype shows that it is most closely related to an Egyptian T haplotype. Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello is located just NW of Jamestowne, Virginia.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, a part of the English diet was what is known as Old World wheat (carbon 3 = Old World wheat). Old World carbon 3 was not available in America until after the arrival of the Jamestowne Colony in 1607. From stable isotope analysis testing that was performed on the remains of 156C, those results show Old World carbon 3 in her diet prior to her arrival at Jamestowne in 1608. JR156C was then reported to be that of Mistress Forrest. 

In the 16th and 17th centuries, a part of the American Native Indian diet was what is known as New World corn (carbon 4 = corn). New World carbon 4 was not available in England until after the arrival of the Jamestown settlement in America in 1607. From 156Cs stable isotope analysis testing, those results also show New World carbon 4 for over 15 years prior to the Jamestowne arrival in 1607. The only English female in all of North America prior to 1607, was a female from the 1587 colony at Roanoke. The Lost Colony arrived at Roanoke Island in 1587 and void of any ships for supply, the colony then began their New World carbon 4 diet. Recent carbon testing on 156C, shows her to have died between 40 and 55 years of age. From the skeletal remains of 156C, a reconstruction of her face was made. The reconstructed face (below) is that of Elannor White Dare, daughter of the governor of the 1587 colony, John White, a leader of the Lost Colony, and according to the Dare stone, the only female survivor of the 1587 colony at Roanoke. 

To have been buried within the James Fort compound and in a gabled coffin was reserved for the highest leadership at Jamestowne. In 1526, 500 Spanish men, women, children, and African slaves settled along the Cape Fear River. Unless a female descendant of one of those African slaves held a position of the highest leadership at Jamestowne she would not have been buried within the fort compound. Unless any of the female South African slaves that arrived at Jamestowne in 1619 held a position of the highest leadership she would not have been buried in the James Fort. Elannor Dare was of the highest leadership of the 1587 colony at Roanoke. The Lost Colony and the early Jamestowne Colonists were a very unique group of people and more about just who they really were will be posted here shortly within future chapters. 

Elannor Dare, aka JR156C, shows Old World carbon 3 (wheat) on top of New World carbon 4 (corn) prior to the Jamestowne arrival in 1607. How can that be? According to multiple record sources (see Chapter V), she was rescued by Capt. John Smith in 1603 where she returned to England at that time. She then returned to Jamestown in 1608 with her maid Ann Burras. Ann Burras was possibly her Weapemeoc or Powhatan Indian maid. This is why JR156C shows carbon 3 on top of 15 years of carbon 4 up until 1608. Elannor Dare was Mistress Forrest, it could be no other.  

The solving of the map known as the Zuniga map, reveals much of the story of the Lost Colony. When asked the fate of the Lost Colony, 8 out of 10 people responded that "If any survived, they assimilated with the Indians and melted away into the tribes". The Zuniga Map reveals that is exactly what happened. There were also 4 men from the Lost Colony that survived the attack in 1591 and lived along Kendrick Creek on the south bank of the Roanoke River with the Tuscarora, according to the map. The Virginia Company's reports also confirm this. Reports also show that from the Tuscarora village of Hocamawanack, they sent Elannor Dare along with two Lost Colony boys to the Chowanock tribe, the Arrowhead Beach, and the Bandon property were the lands of the Chowanock. Indian burials have been found in that area and also is where the Lost Colony Chapel was located. From a section of the original map, the Indian tribe name "Paspahage" is written (below, blue circle). But upon the period, traced copy of the map, the name "Elenboys" is written instead (for Elannor and the 2 boys saved in the attack) (below, gold border, gold circle).

On a survey map, made in 1770 by Churton-Collet, the map includes the Indian Creek area (below), it also shows "Elan Boys" within the same area as it shows on the copy of the Zuniga Map. The back of the upper case letter 'E' (below left, in blue, in green circle) runs along the Chowan River shoreline where Indian Creek branches from the river. Below that is an upper case letter 'L' (in red). Then (in blue) the Roman letter 'a', then 'n', and then 'Boy s'. Below that is 'L White', for L-annor (White) Dare. That is also where the White Ferry ran during the 18th century. 

According to the Zuniga Map, Elannor Dare was the king of the Paspahegh tribe. History tells us that the Paspahegh's were incorporated into the Powhatan chiefdom in 1596, about the same time King Powhatan claimed Elannor Dare from the Chowanock tribe according to the Edward Bland report. The map also shows that Elannor Dare's middle initial was 'S'. It has been discovered that the 'S' stands for Suzan. Also on the map, there appears written by the maker, in an area of the islands in the Roanoke River the following: "Suzan the King of Paspehay's reports one man to be went to see (below, right, translated in red)". A Paspehagh tribe did exist within the Powhatan tribe prior to 1596 and possibly it was that Paspahegh tribe that attacked the colony in 1591. On the chart of images titled: A description of part of the adventures of Cap: Smith in Virginia, there shows an image of Capt. Smith fighting the Paspehagh chief, the chief was taken prisoner in that fight according to the image caption. Within George Percy's publishing A True Relation, he describes a raid he led on the Paspahegh tribe with the Jamestowne Militia. Although King Powhatan did starve and kill many of the colonists prior to the attack, it may be that the attack led by Percy, against the village of Paspahegh was also in retaliation for the attack against the 24 Lost Colonists. According to the message on the Dare stone, Elannor's husband, and daughter Virginia, the first English birth in the New World, were both tortured and murdered in the 1591 attack along with 15 of the other colonists thus making that massacre by the Powhatan's the first of four Anglo-Powhatan Wars. 

"What do we really know of the accuracy of the recording of events that took place in America prior to the American Revolution and the free press?"

The 1587 colony of English families was the biggest cover-up in American history, thus known as the Greatest Mystery in American History, and it happened at the dawning of America. The Lost Colony surviving beyond Roanoke Island was covered up not because someone was going to "get into trouble." The colony was covered-up for 2 reasons that have been found thus far, the 2nd reason was probably the key reason and can be found here within later chapter publishings. 

It must be taken into account that a female from the Lost Colony gave birth about every year or so. The Lost Colony males could have fathered countless children within the colony and with the Indians. The 1587 colony had 3 main objectives in America: 1) To find precious metals and gems. 2) To etch in stone the English ways of life in America. 3) To populate the New World. If any of the colonists were not able to have children they would not have been on the 1587 voyage to Roanoke.

In the Fall of 1591, the colony was attacked and 7 of the colonists survived that attack. How many kids the colonists had already with the Indians, following their landing at Roanoke and up until the time of the attack (over 4 years), is not known. How many of those English or mixed English/Indian kids died in the attack is unclear. However, the number of kids that died in the raid on the Paspahegh Village is possibly the same number of kids that died in the 1591 attack. 

following years of living with the Indians and upon the arrival of the Jamestowne Colony, the survivors from the Lost Colony were rescued by Captain John Smith, Christopher Newport, and other merchant investors of the 1587 colony. When the English Royal Crown found their colony along with their kids, this is what they found (below, center), living mostly naked and covered with tattoos and under the rule of King Powhatan. This does not bode well on the World's stage for the English, or with the English, thence this is one reason the survivors from the 1587 colony were covered up. 

CHOWANOAC VILLAGE

In the upper right corner of the artwork (2nd image above, #6, and below, left), there appears a small pond. That pond is located in the area where the Chowanoac Village once stood. The area within the blue outline (below, left) shows a darker shading representing the water as seen within the blue outline (image below, right). That 'T' shaped area is shallow and not always filled with water as seen in the low water level of the pond (below, left). At the blue arrow (below, right), appears a "tab" of land, that same tab appears in the image (left) where people are filling water on that same tab of land. The white line (below, right, lower corner) appears the same shape of the bank as the bank line in the image (left).
