Nice work, and all stuff I'd go along with, though you didn't mention missionarries (very important if you're nice to the natives) and it is in fact possible for criminals/servants to become standard colonists simply by working, in the same way that a normal colonist can gain expertise in an area by working at the same job for a long time (though it's slightly more efficient to train them if I remember).

On Founding Fathers, the 2 you mention who deal with immigrants from the home country are even more useful if you play as england (since they get more colonists), and Pocahontas can be handy for tactical reasons (particularly as the spanish) - you can destoy irritating native villages and take their land, then have pocahontas reset all their attitudes to neutral so you don't need to destroy a whole nation/tribe. The FF who makes them give up their land for free is also handy if you end up coexisting with them closely.
