No. The concept was already in existence in English tradition; there was a day of Thanksgiving after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, for example. Another was called after the failure of the "Gunpowder Plot", and this became an annual tradition (which developed into Guy Fawkes day, so even the notion of an annual day of giving thanks as opposed to only after a special event wasn't totally original with the Pilgrims; and Thanksgiving in the US has elements of a "harvest festival", which have been celebrated in many cultures since prehistoric times.
