Anna Maria (Gysin) and Martin Heffelfinger left Switzerland for America sometime after March 16, 1740. It has been recorded that they left to pursue religious freedom in the New World. They departed on the Ship Friendship from Rotterdam, via London, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ship rosters show that of 120 souls on board, 60 perished during this very difficult voyage. Anna Maria died leaving Martin with five motherless children. Anna Maria was 40 years old when she perished at sea.
