Huguenots were arriving in early America long before the French revolution. In 1790, less than 1% of Americans were Catholic.

My Huguenot ancestor was one Pierre David who settled in Manakin Town around 1700 IIRC. He or his son in law was a business partner with one Thomas Jefferson, grandfather of his more famous namesake. They sued each other over some land deal so evidently it wasn’t the smoothest of partnerships.

They arrived in Florida in the 1500's.
