He migrated to Holland, where he led a church but was asked to leave. In 1637, he was part of the Dutch migration to Brazil, taking over the colony from the Portuguese. He was the minister to the garrison on the island of Itamarca. In 1654, the Portuguese revolted and forced the Dutch to leave. When the Dutch fled on eighteen ships back to Holland, Dominie Polhemius was a different ship than his wife and children. His ship was taken over by pirates. They were later rescued by the French ship, "Le Charles" and set ashore in the Dutch settlement in New York. The Dutch requested that he stay there and lead their church. He stayed and his wife and children later rejoined him two years later. (Source: NY Gen. & Bio. Record, republished in Genealogies of Long Island Families, by Henry B.
