No, the Pilgrims on the Mayflower did not establish Jamestown. The Mayflower arrived in 1620, leading to the founding of Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. In contrast, Jamestown was established earlier, in 1607, in Virginia by English settlers from the Virginia Company. Thus, these two colonies were founded by different groups at different times.
