Her family were Est-Frisians, a very old Northern European ethnic group living in Northwest Germany. They were Lutheran farmers whose ancestral lines trace as far back as the mid-15th Century in Timmel and other Ostfriesische towns surrounding Aurich near the North Sea coastline of today's extreme northwest Germany.
Annie married on 28 Apr 1860 in Stackholt to Dirk Heÿen Eilers, he was a East-Frisian native of Timmel.
Dirk was a "Hausmann" in Timmel, that was a farmer with much land.
Annie was Dirk's second wife. The couple came to Champaign County, Illinois in 1875 with their six children and settled in Royal near other Frisian immigrants, where they farmed. Annie was widowed in 1894 and lived the rest of her life in the home of her daughter Almuth Eilers Raup in Rantoul. Annie died there in 1925.
