Some French Huguenots settled in New York in areas such as New Paltz, which was founded in 1678, and in other regions like Staten Island and the Hudson Valley. They established communities where they could practice their Protestant faith freely after fleeing religious persecution in France. Their influence is still evident today in local culture and historical sites.
The French Huguenots were persecuted primarily for their Protestant beliefs, which contrasted sharply with the dominant Catholicism in France during the 16th and 17th centuries. Their refusal to conform to Catholic practices and their advocacy for religious reform led to widespread discrimination, violence, and civil wars, notably the Wars of Religion. The Edict of Nantes in 1598 granted them some degree of religious tolerance, but this was revoked in 1685, leading to intensified persecution and the exodus of many Huguenots from France.

James Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt all had some ancestors that were French Huguenots.
The Huguenots, who were mostly from Southern France, had always had problems with the monarchy Paris and the Church in Rome. See 'Huguenots and Jews of the Languedoc' for more information. By the late 17th century the Huguenots were forced to leave France and made their way to many countries with Protestant communities throughout the world. .
Some common French surnames in Grenada are La Grenade, who were French Huguenots, and Sylvester, which is of French origin. "La Grenade" means "the pomegranate" in French, while "Sylvester" means "of the forest" or "wild" in French.
The Huguenots not only came to New York, they went to a number of places. Still, the Huguenots, or French Protestants, escaped France with the clothes on their backs. They escaped to Protestant Countries such as Holland. Some escaped to North Germany, some to Scandinavia, some to Switzerland, and some to England. In 1609 when the Dutch were looking for settlers for New Amsterdam, the Huguenot refugees were available. They were cultured, educated, and hard working. So, the Dutch used the Huguenots to populate New York. They also sent a number of Dutch citizens.
The religious groups included the Protestant, Quakers, Anglicans, and French Huguenots, and some Catholics.
The great exodus of Huguenots did not happen after the Great Revolution of 1789. It happened more than 100 years earlier, under Louis XIV after he revoked the Edict of Nantes that had given Huguenots freedom of religion and freedom from persecution. That happened in 1685. Most Huguenots fled to The Netherlands, to the Dutch Cape Colony, to Switzerland and to England. Some emigrated to the then French colonies in North America.

The Huguenots were the French protestants. The Jesuits were formed primarily to combat the protestant heresy. I don't know where you got this idea, but some of the stuff on the web for Huguenots and Jesuits suggest that the two were bitter enemies, and that the Huguenots were responsible in some way for the suppression of the Jesuits. Either way, there is no way that the Jesuits ever combined Catholic beliefs with protestant beliefs - that would give a lie to their whole reason for existing.
