Antonia Antoni

Biography

Marie Antoinette Antoni was born October 10, 1851 in Brando, Corsica. She was the eldest of three sisters and would marry Louis Penchi, the son of André Penchi and Marie Lucie Mattei, in 1872. Soon after this marriage she would travel to Puerto Rico with her husband with Spain's Real Cédula de Gracias, a decree intended to grant land to European Catholics to colonize Puerto Rico. She would travel with her husband and her sister Marie Épiphanie Antoni. The assumed year of this voyage is 1875 from census records, but it may have been completed a year or so earlier. According to family lore, they arrived in the port of Guánica. Here she changed her name to Antonia Antoni y Cardi. The couple would found the Penchi Antoni family with seven children who resided in Caín Alto and Guamá, San Germán. In 1914 her husband, Luis Penchi, died after forty-one years of marriage. In 1920 she was living in Segundo, Ponce with her children Juana Penchi Antoni de Fernández and Luis Penchi Antoni and her grandchildren Luis and Salvador Fernández Penchi. She died April 25, 1928 at 9pm in San Germán.
