Who were the founders of Jamestown?
John Smith was the leader of the Immigration to Jamestown in 1607. The immigrants (more than 900 from 1607 to 1609 - though only 60 survived) were mostly young men in their 20s, all looking for profit and individual economic gain, contrasting with the families that would settle Massachusetts later. The Virginia Company sent a variety of artisans to diversify the economy; however, most were not interested in specialized trade-- gold-seekers or unskilled laborers. Some were of criminal backgrounds, who added to the unproductive mix of settlers.

At first, the Native Americans they met were not very friendly. Many people starved during the first winter.

Who founded the colony of West Virginia?
There was never a colony of West Virginia. West Virginia was a part of Virginia from the time the colony of Virginia was founded at Jamestown in 1607 until 1863. In 1863 the Yankees offered the educational lesson that while it is most definitely NOT acceptable for states to secede from the US, it is perfectly acceptable for part of a state to secede after 256 years and set itself up as a new state, and West Virginia was born, without ever having been a colony or a territory.

That was Rhode Island (Although it didn't become the first state).

The first English colony was most likely St. John's, Newfoundland (now in Canada), settled permanently since 1583. However, there are other communities on the island of Newfoundland (such as Harbour Grace) dating from 1583 as well, so the exact first colony is hard to pin-point and has been lost to history. Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina was settled in 1587, but the colony failed and was "lost". Jamestown, VA was not settled until 1607.
