*August 18, 2022 Is Virginia Dare’s 435th Birthday, And The Historic American Nation Is Still Here* ( [link removed] )

**

Virginia Dare, after whom VDARE.com is named, was the first child of English parents born in what is now the United States of America, on August 18th in 1587. She may be considered the foremother of the Historic American Nation, which is not descended from such rival claimants for the title of First Child ( [link removed] ) as Snorri Porfinnsson ( [link removed] ) (allegedly born in “Vinland” in the eleventh century) and Martin De Arguelles, ( [link removed] ) born in a part of New Spain which is now St. Augustine, Florida. They were earlier, but they were not ( [link removed] ) what America today is descended from— culturally ( [link removed] ).

As a settler in a land full of what Thomas Jefferson ( [link removed] ) would later refer to ( [link removed] ) as “the merciless Indian Savages ( [link removed] ) , whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all Ages, Sexes and Conditions ( [link removed] ) ,” Virginia Dare was a white minority.

And as far as we know, she, and her whole family, were either massacred ( [link removed] ) or enslaved ( [link removed] ) by local Indians.

VDARE.com Editor ( [link removed] ) Peter Brimelow wrote in 1999, ( [link removed] ) when he founded VDARE.com, that:

*I have always been fascinated by the story of Virginia Dare. She was the first English child to be born in the New World, in August 1587, shortly after the founding of what was to become known as “The Lost Colony” ( [link removed] ) on Roanoke Island off the North Carolina coast. It says something about the mettle of those settlers that any pregnant woman would cross the Atlantic, the equivalent of a lunar expedition at that time—and Virginia’s mother Elenor was no less than the daughter of John White, the colony’s governor.*

*Perhaps you have to have a daughter yourself to appreciate what White must have felt three years later, when he finally returned from a supply trip to England, much delayed by the Spanish Armada ( [link removed] ). The smoke he took at first to be proof of occupation turned out to be brushfires. The settlement stood abandoned. Over a hundred settlers, his daughter and granddaughter among them, had vanished. He would never see them again.*

There’s a sort of tradition that Virginia Dare may have survived, assimilated into a local Indian tribe, and even had descendants. There’s a legend, as distinct from a tradition, that she was transformed by shamanic magic into a white doe.

This may or may not be true (Wikipedia gives her birthdate and says ( [link removed] ) “date of death unknown”).

But if it is, it’s kind of horrifying.
