No, but because of persecution many Amish immigrated to the united states during the 1700's and a second wave of Immigration in the 1850's. Most of the Amish coming to america in the 1850's did not remain amish and began to identify with the Mennonite. Two exceptions this are the Swiss Amish communites located in Berne and Adams Counties in Indiana. The amish themselves have their roots in Switzerland in the late 1600's.
