Yes
"By 1779, there were more Americans fighting with the British than with Washington!
There were no less than 21 regiments (estimated to total 6,500 to 8,000 men) of loyalists in the British army. Washington reported a field army of 3,468. About a third of Americans opposed the Revolution."

"Americans" Any Americans that wanted the British in America considered themselves Englishmen, as Ben Franklin and many of the founders did likewise. So to answer you yes and the best of the Englishmen in the world lived in America at that time.

I don't know, but I learned that about one fourth of the German mercenaries that fought for the crown, actually settled in America after the war. It would seem that they too liked the prospects of free speech and self governence.
