Beginning in the Spring of 1781, Mother Ann and some of her followers went on an extensive missionary journey to find converts in Massachusetts and Connecticut. There were also songs attributed to her which were sung without words.

Her mission was quite successful and led to many converts including many of the followers of Shadrack Ireland. The Shakers were sometimes met by violent mobs, such as in Shirley, Massachusetts. Because of these hardships, Mother Ann became quite frail, and on September 8 1784, she died at the age of 48 in Watervliet.
