I read about this legend when I was kid. A town/village back at the beginning of America that the entire population vanished. There was meals on tables and everything but no people. They found a log or tree or something with part of a work or initials carved in it. Does anyone remember what the town was called or recognise this legend? It's on the tip of my tongue, I just can't remember it.

Roanoke Colony?
The word was "Croatoan."

I thought is was Jamestown (there was something on TV about it a few weeks ago)...but either way, neither that nor Roanoke is in New England. There are other legends of vanished families from the towns that were flooded to create Quabbin Reservoir in Mass., but those date from the 1930's.

I thought it was in virginia. The colony was established by Sir Walter Raliegh who left to return to England when the Enlish returned a year later the colony had vanished.
Oh yea forgot the name but the others gave it already
