The province of Maine. 1622 also was the year of the great Jamestown massacre by the Indians.
Roanoke Island by the brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, Gilbert Raleigh. This colony did not succeed.
It is not known exactly how long the Indians have lived in what we know as the Carolinas but the first actual Charter claiming "Ownership" of the lands was made by Charles the Second of England in 1663. However there is evidence to indicate that Settlers had been living there since some time around 1650 and were generally believed to be a combination of outcasts and isolationists as well as some simple hearty and adventurous souls from the other colonies ... most notably the Virginia colony. North Carolina or initially the Carolina Territory got its name from Carolus which is the Latin word for Charles. It seems however that the territories were actually named after Charles the First and not Charles the Second himself. This charter was revised again in 1665 in order to extend the land grant and clarify points of question between the landholders. In 1729 many of the landholders sold their holdings and Carolina became formally known as a colony or a Royal Colony as it was known then.
