I just had an idea for something in one of my writings and it could be used or not, it wouldn't really make that much of an impact in my opinion. Now, about the lost colony Roanoke, I try to find reasearch about it but its too hard to actually get a site that has anything to do with what I want. So I was wondering...

Did the lost colony of Roanoke have a bar or andy type of drinking pub? I know its a little random but its important for me to know. Also, were they Catholics or Protestians? I think they were Protestians, but I'm not sure.

Answers would be greatly appriciated!

My impression from a little I read many years ago, is they were normal folk, not Puritans, so I'm fairly sure they would have had a place to drink.

Given the times, it was likely to be someone's living area at first, then a counter in the generral store when they got one.

weren't catholics on the nose in England at the time? So I doubt they'd be catholic. Maybe one of the sects, but I seem to remember a comment about America getting a completely different start if Roanoke hadn't been lost.

I also never got to find out if they ever worked out what happened to them.

BTW, much as I love 'Protestians' it's 'Protestants.'

as journeyman notes, it's 'protestants' and that's what they would have been...

the colony wasn't all that long-established before it went missing, so i doubt it would have had a 'bar' or other commercial establishment, but with 90 men and only 17 women and 9 children, i'm sure they did some drinking of something somewhere... probably in back of the church, which they definitely would have had, even if in rough form...

here's just the first page of a google search... a much better way to find the info you need:

Thanks. I'll change what I wrote then, it won't work out anymore. Oh well, it wasn't a big thing. Thanks though.
