For reason unknown Anna was aboard the ship, Belfast Packet and Dietrich was aboard the ship, Britannia, arriving in Charles Town SC (now Charleston), ten days before the Belfast Packet, perhaps to allow for lodging in advance of his family. Anna became ill enroute to America and died at sea, never seeing America. She is buried at sea in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon learning of the death of Anna, Dietrich married Maria Dorothea SAMBLIN, an immigrant also arriving aboard the ship Britanna, on November 25, 1766 in St. John's Lutheran Church, Charles Town, SC.
