the passenger manifest of the first voyage in 1585 is a "John Cage." 
Someone's put the list online here:

I noticed also, quite by "chance", that in the list of "Indian traders"
or "Longhunters" whose DNA the compilers are "interested in" (appearing
just above the Roanoke first-voyage passenger list), there is mentioned
a certain "Joseph Cornell"!  Can it be that Modernism began more than
300 years earlier than we all suspected?
