I'm sure some of them did and the rest were brutally killed. That's what Indians were doing to settlers in those days.

White didn’t search long when he returned because his ship’s anchor broke and it was prime hurricane season and the crew wanted to get back to Europe. Also he was just hitching a ride back in 1590, the captain and crew he was with had no real interest in the colony to keep looking anyway.

White went to his grave believing his family and settlers just went to live with the Natives.

The trip was supposed to be quick (for 1580's), but England and Spain started to throw hands, and cannonballs, and this conflict delayed him from returning as scheduled. So because of major war, he was delayed a couple more years. And the rest is history.
