Hi,

I know this message is 5 years late, but I'm a distant descendant of Paulus Antoni and have recently found a lot of information on him!

Paulus Antoni immigrated to the US from Germany on Sep 29, 1741 on the ship Lydia. He was 22 years old. His name was changed to Paul Antonie or Anthony. He settled in or near Philadelphia in a region formerly called New Goshenhoppen (now Montgomery County).

Paul married Anna Maria Sophronica Sechler ("Froney"). Their children were Anna Maria Andenis, Philip, Abraham, John Paul, Anna Elizabeth, Martin, and Jacob. By 1763 they had moved out of Pennsylvania and owned land in the Catawba River area of North Carolina. Paul died sometime before 1805 in Burke County, NC.

Much of this was found on FamilySearch.org. By the way, I am descended from their daughter Anna Maria Andenis (Mary Ann), who married John Mull.

Regards,
Katie
