Pilgrims
The Mayflower Compact was the governing document the Pilgrims used to establish the Plymouth Colony which was in Massachusetts. Jamestown was in Virginia and was not settled by the "Pilgrims." It was settled by a group of entrpreneurs known as the Virginia Company to make money, not a group in search of religious freedom like the Pilgrims/Puritans.
Quakers
The Anglican Church, representing the Church of England, was the dominant religious group that settled in Virginia during the colonial period. Many of the early English settlers, including those at Jamestown in 1607, were Anglicans seeking economic opportunities and land. Additionally, some dissenting groups, like the Baptists and Quakers, later established communities in Virginia, but the Anglican Church remained the official faith for much of the colony's early history.
