The Polhemus Family Crest

The emigrant, the Rev. Johannes Theodore Polhemus, belonged to the Polheim family, from the protestant Netherlands, and had latinized his name, as was the universal custom, on entering holy orders. He first went from Holland to Brazil, probably as a Chaplain, and reached New Amsterdam in 1654.
