Virginia Dare(1587-?) was the first English child born in America, shortly before she and the other 91 colonists disappeared forever from Roanoka Island's "Lost Colony."
I wonder if the word "dare" comes from her. When we use the word in a sentence like "I dare you to do it." We are taunting the other person to go first to try something.
