No. Some are descendants of the founding population.

“Founding population” = British and European immigrants and... how does one find something that is already found

They created the United States, they didn't immigrate to it. That the land was populated by someone else doesn't mean it belonged to them or that they created the US. Someone might have lived on the land you now own, is it still their house? Another country might have been there.
