-An ancestor of mine was a carpenter and came over to the U.S. a few years before the pilgrims did. He was living in Jamestown, VA and got into some trouble and deported back to England. During the trip back, the ship got a hit by a hurricane and he ended up in the Bahamas. He managed to get back over to England and a few years later when the pilgrims were looking for people to go with them to the U.S, he volunteered and came over with them to Plymouth, making him probably one of the only people to have lived in both Jamestown and Plymouth.
-Jamestown, VA was settled in several years before the pilgrims came, but when the pilgrims came over, they found the town completely deserted with no trace of the inhabitants.
