Yup.  Menno Simmons' group split up, like most groups
do.  Ironically, Barton Stone's Church of Christ and
the Disciples of Christ groups, formed in the late
nineteenth century in an attempt to unite American
Protestants into one, have splintered into a myriad of
denominations.  Maybe even more than any other
American Christian group.
