You are right, it wasn't pennsylvania until the 1680's. The pennsylvania dutch came in the decades following that. you apparently thought the Dutch traders from Holland and the Pennsylvania Dutch are the same. Also, to be clear, the pilgrims originally weren't called pilgrims, the mohawks weren't called mohawks etc. etc. What is true is that many Americans came here for religious regions and you specifically stated it was for money.
