The Huguenots were French Protestants. They settled throughout the colonies, especially after the French King Louis XIV took away their freedom of worship in 1685. The French Protestants (Reformed) were rarely concentrated in any one colony, however, and had a limited effect on religious life in general. Many eventually became Presbyterians.

I hope this helps you and have a great rest of the day!
I'm also learning about this in history :D
