No, John Cabot claimed land in Newfoundland for England in 1497. This was in Canada and was nowhere near the founding of the thirteen colonies.
Cabot didn't claim any land in 1479 for England. The English didn't begin exploring until the 1600's and the earliest was Columbus in 1492.
There is no reliable evidence that John Cabot landed, but if he did land it was at Bonavista.
Giovanni Caboto, known as John Cabot, claimed land for England. He made his first voyage to North America in 1497, exploring the coast of what is now Newfoundland.
