"Those Johnny Come Latelys up in New England were not the first English settlers to North America and in fact, most of the Founding Fathers came from Virginia. They were in fact descendants of Jamestown"

If by "founding fathers" you mean, 100% under patent (i.e. permission) from the English monarchy, then yes.

If you mean, the first group NOT to be 100% under patent from England, and who created their own, first in the land patent (now known as the Mayflower Compact), then no, the settlers of Virginia were not the founding fathers.

Of course, most would argue that our true founding fathers weren't even born for nearly 100 years more.

George Washington, George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Patrick Henry were all Virginians.

vs

Hamilton from Jamaica, Franklin from Philly and John Adams from Boston.

Most of the intellectual horsepower behind the secession from the British Empire and the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were descendants of Jamestown. Jamestown was where America really began.
