He came to America with his first wife and son and settled at Hardwick Twp., Sussex Co., NJ, leaving the estate to be run by agents. After Francis' death, the heirs took no action concerning his English estate and it was eventually taken over by the Crown and sold.

"The Genealogy and History of the Glover Family of Saxon Origin Formerly spelled "Golofre" and in the 14th Century "Glove" by D.J. McCall, Simcoe, Ontario In Part: "Morristown, New Jersey, a very good agricultural district, became one of the chosen locations. Morris County, New Jersey, soon began to be settled by Glovers and numerous other families, and from these settlements came many of the first settlers in Norfolk County. These included the Glovers, Culvers, Collvers, Beemers, Smiths, Severeigns, McCalls and others, the descendants of whom remain with us to the present time.
Francis Glover became one of the numerous Glovers who settled in the Morristown district, residing there with other members of the family. When the war between the Colonies and the Mother Country began, James (sic) the oldest son of Francis, the oldest Loyalist soldier, came to Upper Canada as a young man. He settled in the vicinity of Grimsby below the mountain, and fought at the battle of Stoney Creek.
When the war ended, James returned to Morristown district, and brought his widowed step-mother and the family to Grimsby. From here, the Glovers became settlers in various parts of the country. They figured conspicuously in the development of Norfolk County. Several of the other men were soldiers, and became half-pay officers with Commissions granted them by Governor Simcoe. They were also given land grants with their Commissions. They became active in community life and were responsible for much of the early enterprise of the district.
Captain Charles Glover came from Grimsby to the London District in the early part of the 19th Century, and married Charlotte Dietchman. She was the only daughter of Colonel Dietchman, and following the death of her father, she long with her brother John, was adopted by Rev. Jabez Culver of Townsend. Colonel Dietchman was formerly a Colonel in the British Army, later living in Morristown, NJ, and evidently a close friend of Rev. Jabez Culver.
John Dietchman settled in Boston, Norfolk County, Townsend township, and may have given the name Boston to the village, which was located along the Brant Trail in the very early days in Norfolk. The Boston Baptist Church and the Vittoria Baptist Church were both established in 1804, which made for the new settlements along that route. Charles Glover settled in Forestville, Charlottesville Township, and James (sic) Glover settled near Round Plains, Windham township."
