None of Shakespeare's works are based on the settlement at Jamestown, which was indeed contemporary with him. There is a possible connection between The Tempest and the wreck of the Sea Venture, a ship belonging to the Virginia Company of London, the company which had sponsored the Jamestown colony. The Sea Venture became unseaworthy in a heavy storm and was intentionally sailed into the reefs at Bermuda, allowing all of the passengers and crew to survive. William Strachey's account of this event is thought to be a source for The Tempest.
In another interesting connection, some of the passengers of the Sea Venture died on Bermuda, including the wife and child of John Rolfe, the man who saved the Jamestown colony by importing tobacco there, and the man who would in due course take Pocahantas for his wife.

No. None of Shakespeare's works are based on the Cinderella story. It was a folktale in France, but was never written down until Charles Perreault did in 1697, about 100 years after Shakespeare. It is possible and even likely that Shakespeare did not know the Cinderella story.Only two of Shakespeare's plays are not based closely on a previous play, story or history book.
Shakespeare's play is based on Plutarch's Lives of the Greeks and Romans, which Shakespeare almost certainly took at school.

The Puritans settled in New England seeking religious freedom and a community based on their beliefs, while Jamestown was founded as a profit-driven venture by the Virginia Company. The Puritans focused on creating a close-knit, religiously homogeneous society, while Jamestown had a more diverse population with a primary focus on economic gain through industries like tobacco farming.
Duncan is a Scottish name. The name was based on a clan name and was the name of a Scottish Saint. I think the most famous Duncan would be the one who was in Shakespeare's MacBeth
