Johann Anton Paulÿ was married in Leutershausen, just north of Schriesheim, on 20 August 1753 to Anna Katharina Dörr. She was born in Leutershausen on 24 June 1730.
They immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein), arriving in Fridericia on 1 May 1760. They are last recorded among the Danish colonies on 26 April 1763.
The family joined the migration to Russia. Anton, Anna Katharina, and their children settled in the Volga German colony of Anton on 7 September 1764, where they are recorded there on the 1767 Census in Household No. 5.
