What if Raleigh sets up colonists in Manhattan or New England instead of Roanoke?

Probably, I think, especially in either Manhattan/Long Island area. Interrmariage with local Native Americans? More or less possible.
 
I say that it doesn't matter where they should go, so long as they don't antagonize the native population or be found out by Spanish ships. Their population being 116 in total, their best bet is to seek out a small island to serve as a good defensive spot in case things do go sour. I recommend Governor's Island in New York Bay or Coney Island.

Is there any cultural reason why intermarriage would be more of a thing with the algonquins of Manhattan or Long Island as opposed to the Powhatan Algonquins of Virginia and North Carolina?
