No, the Jamestown settlers did not cross the Cumberland Gap. Jamestown, established in 1607, was located in Virginia along the James River, while the Cumberland Gap is a mountain pass located further west in the Appalachian Mountains. The gap became significant later in American history for westward expansion, particularly in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Jamestown settlers primarily focused on establishing their colony and navigating the surrounding areas rather than crossing into the Appalachian region.
