Alot of people seems to have alot of different answers
but make sure those dates match up when the English settlers took over the colony from other Countries, for example - New York 1624 founded as New Netherland by the Dutch West India Company and was seized by the English in 1664 and renamed New York after the Duke of York which makes it an American (English) colony in 1664 not 1624.
