Five Colonies were established by Puritans in New England: Plymouth (1620); Massachusetts Bay (1630); New Haven (1638); Connecticut (1639); and Rhode Island (1644). In 1662 Connecticut received a charter from the Crown that included in its boundaries the New Haven Colony, which thereafter became part of Connecticut and ceased to exist as a separate Colony. The other two Colonies founded on a religious basis were Maryland (1633) and Pennsylvania (1682).

James I was 1603-1625, so the colony that answers the question is that of the Putitans in 1620.
The Jamestown colony was earlier, but was colonised by adventurers rather than a religious group.
