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.

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.
