Shortly thereafter, André died and Anna and her three children traveled to Canada. One son died on the ship over. Anna and her sons, Andrew and John, settled in the Wilmot or East Zorra Amish-Mennonite communities in southwestern Ontario. Both sons married and had large families. In 1892, part of John's family migrated to Elkton, Michigan while the majority of the Herrforts remained in Ontario. Descendants live in Canada and the United States.
