Primarily Pilgrims were in Plymouth (Massachusetts), but the Puritans got the charter for Massachusetts Bay Colony. Philadelphia was a secular colony established by a Quaker, but that isn't quite New England. Providence (Rhode island) Colony was established by a Baptist, Roger Williams after the Puritans gave him the boot from Salem. Connecticut Colony was started by Puritan Thomas Hooker.
William Penn did not "discover" a colony. He founded the colony that became Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania He was a very involved Quaker and when his father died the King owed his father money so he gave him a land grant for the land we call Pennsylvania. The colony he founded was one of the first to work and protect the native Americans of the area. He signed a peace treaty with them.

Penn was a ardent Quaker and had been arrested several times in London. He was from a wealthy family and when his father died the king owed him money. To pay the debt the king gave Penn a land grant to Pennsylvania. This got Penn out of England and he was able to establish a Quaker colony that would become Pennsylvania.
A Quaker named James Woolman.
The Dutch and the Swedes were the first white settlers in the area that became New Jersey. When the British took over control of the colony, the King gave control of the colony to his brother, the Duke of York, who in turn gave the colony to his two friends, Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. They allowed settlers religious and political freedom in the colony, so many different groups settled the area. The early religious groups were Anglican, Puritan, Quaker, and Calvinist.
