She married Felix Urmi on 11 February 1616, in Knonau, Zürich, Switzerland. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 4 daughters.

X. Deß XXII Jahre auß der Baregg verwisenen Felix Vrmi's, des Widertäüfers, 4 Kinder: Gregorius Vrmj, now-mählen 35-jährig [der weg ziehen vor XI Jahren, samt Eÿnem wyb die so syn gestorben]; Verena, 29-jährig; Anna, 26-Jährig; Köngelt, 24-jährig; sollend alle 4 vermuthlich vnder den Widertäüfferen, im Elsaß sÿn sitzhafft.

The ages of the children indicate a registration year of 1657. According to this, Felix Urmi would have been expelled in 1635 (the family is still listed in the 1634 population register). Gorius/Gregorius appears to have married [§] (the wife may have died before 1657) and moved away from Knonau in 1646. The eldest daughter was only 7 years old in 1635: all 3 daughters still alive at this time must have moved away with their parents. It is assumed that all 4 children settled in Alsace with other Anabaptists in 1657. Nothing is said about the whereabouts of the parents - they probably died before 1657.

[§] Vmtl. Knonau 14.01.1647: Urmi, Gorius, servant at the Buch farm, married Bär, Margaretha “a Widerteüffers daughter from the Ütliberg”, both still young and unmarried.

[There is also a dossier in the Zurich State Archives with details from the period 1640-1679 (thanks to griffy for the reference).

See D) Felix Urmi oo 1616 Adelheid Grob: Felix is mentioned several times as Widertüffer = Wiedertäufer = Anabaptist. On the forum post there is a link to documents on his case in the catalogue of the Zürich State Archive … unfortunately nothing online - one would have to pay the archive a visit.

The text reports (summary in English):

The ages of the children indicate a registration year of 1657. According to this, Felix Urmi has been expelled in 1635 and moved away (the family is still listed in the 1634 population register). Gorius/Gregorius seems to have married (the wife may have died before 1657) and moved away from Knonau in 1646. The eldest daughter was only 7 years old in 1635: all 3 daughters still alive at this time will likely have moved away with their parents. It is assumed that all 4 children are settled in Alsace with other Anabaptists prior to 1657. Nothing is said about the whereabouts of the parents - they probably died before 1657. 

Kent:

Felix was a Täufer or an Antabaptist. The above document is from a two page list of Antabaptist in Knonau. During this time they were persecuted and eventually many left the country including Felix. 

Anabaptism (from Neo-Latin anabaptista,[1] from the Greek ἀναβαπτισμός: ἀνά 're-' and βαπτισμός 'baptism';[1] German: Täufer, earlier also Wiedertäufer)[a] is a Christian movementwhich traces its origins to the Radical Reformation in the 16th century. Anabaptists believe that baptism is valid only when candidates freely confess their faith in Christ and request to be baptized. Commonly referred to as believer's baptism, it is opposed to baptism of infants, who are not able to make a conscious decision to be baptized. Wikipedia
