My take on the first 2, the others just seem like common religious stigmas that were used to control or otherwise placate unknowns of the time.

Rule 1: shaven and untouched for a month would get rid of foreign lice, other parasites, and possibly show any STD's so as to not infect the whole army/population.

Rule 2: Possibly to keep people from eating unknown and possibly poisonous insects.

The Obvious Answer:

That second group of settlers didn't really get the chance to investigate what happened to the original bunch, because a few years later an even bigger mysterious phenomena occurred: Blue-eyed, pale-complexioned Indians began showing up on nearby Croatan Island.

So what to make of these mysterious children, who looked like they might have been the descendents of white/Indian mixed race parents? On CROATAN island?

It's almost as if, we don't know, a certain group of settlers realized their colony sucked, and went and found some natives nearby who seemed to know how to live off the land. And that they then left their shitty colony forever to go live happily ever after on Croatan Island, and to have impressive amounts of sex with the natives.
