Were there many American born loyalists who moved to England after the Revolutionary War? If so, what was life like for them? I know many resettled in modern day Ontario, I am just curious about the rest.

William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin's son, was the last royal governor of NJ. He refused to support the patriot cause, even though his father was a founding father. He was eventually arrested and brought before the NJ Provisional Congress and booted out of office. He worked with loyalist militias after that. When the war was over he moved to England. Benjamin Franklin never really reconciled with William.
