No, the Pilgrims did not found Jamestown. Jamestown was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company as the first permanent English settlement in North America. The Pilgrims, on the other hand, founded Plymouth Colony in 1620, seeking religious freedom. Although both colonies were part of early English colonization efforts, they were founded by different groups for different reasons.
