In 1620, a group of 102 Pilgrims set out for the New World aboard the Mayflower, initially aiming for Virginia. However, they eventually landed at Plymouth Rock in present-day Massachusetts due to navigational challenges. The group included both Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom, and "Strangers," who were individuals seeking other opportunities.
They did not go to Jamestown. They set out for Virginia but got blown off course and landed in Massachusetts in 1620.
The pilgrims did not land in any state. No states existed when they landed.
Jamestown, Virginia
The original agreement between the Virginia Company and the Pilgrims, who sought to establish a settlement in North America, primarily involved the Pilgrims receiving financial support and the right to establish a colony in exchange for a share of the profits from resources and trade. The Pilgrims, who were seeking religious freedom, were to adhere to the laws and governance set forth by the Virginia Company. However, upon arriving in America, they faced challenges that led them to draft the Mayflower Compact, establishing their own self-governance.
The Pilgrims were originally heading for Virginia.

Pilgrims wanted to go to Virginia to begin a new life in a new place. They envisioned a life with more freedom and land they could own for themselves and their families.
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.
