No, the Pilgrims on the Mayflower did not establish Jamestown. The Mayflower arrived in 1620, leading to the founding of Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. In contrast, Jamestown was established earlier, in 1607, in Virginia by English settlers from the Virginia Company. Thus, these two colonies were founded by different groups at different times.
The Pilgrims were headed to Virginia, but storms and obstacles made them go to Massachusetts.

Roanoke was settled by English settlers on Roanoke Island, present-day North Carolina. Jamestown was settled by English settlers in Virginia, while Plymouth was settled by English Separatists in Massachusetts.
Virginia was the home of the very first settlement in 1607 with Jamestown and then in 1620 came the Pilgrims to Massachusetts and Plymouth colony.
Jamestown was the first settlement in what became Virginia (named in honor of the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth) and Plymouth was the first settlement in what would become the Massachusetts Bay colony.
The Virginia Company was a joint stock company chartered by King James I of England. The Virginia Company of London successfully established the territory of Jamestown, while the Virginia Company of Plymouth was to establish a colony further north. The Plymouth Company failed when their colony of Popham, in modern-day Maine, failed in 1608. Plymouth, Massachusetts was established by the religious separatists known as the Pilgrims after securing a land grant from Sir Edwin Sandys, a major stockholder in the failing Plymouth Company. So technically, the Virginia Company sponsored both the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies, but the latter was a bit more unofficial.
