That wouldn't be useful to Columbus as he did not speak English. He could speak Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The fact that Columbus never stepped foot on North America also makes one suspicious of any claim that he would have found such a person.

You're most likely thinking of the Massachusetts Indian who greeted the Pilgrims in 1620 with the words, "Welcome, English."
He had learned some English from what we would call today commercial fishermen.
As you can readily see by the dates, Columbus was long moldering in his grave--besides, he never set foot on the North American mainland.

There was one that did when the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts in 1620. Maybe you are confusing the two stories.

Um, no. English came from England with C/C and his posse.
