The settlers who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620 were Separatists.
The settlers who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, ten years later, were Puritans.
The Separatists could also be considered radicalized Puritans.
It became customary, 200 years later, to refer to the Plymouth colonists as "Pilgrims" (with a capital 'P'), although they generally did not think of themselves as such. William Bradford uses the word only once.
