Teunis Nyssen emigrated from Bunnick, Province of Utrecht, Holland, about 1638. He settled at New Amsterdam and there married Femmetje Jans, widow of Hendrick the Boor and daughter of Jan Seales of New Amsterdam." (Reminiscences of New Utrecht, p. 124).

He was married to Femmetje "Phoebe" Janse* SEALS on 11 Feb 1640 in New Amsterdam (now New York, New York, USA). "Data establishes that Teunis Nyssen's family was intimately intertwined with the Polhemus family which migrated from the Dutch colony at Itamarca, Brazil, to Flatbush, New York (also known as Midwood, hence the surname Middlewout taken by some offspring) in 1654. All of the sources that I know of (and there are several) that relate to Denyse Teunisen De Nyse and his brother Jan Teunis Van Middleswart, all give April 12, 1654 as the date of Denyse and Jan's baptism, not the date of their birth. It is therefore quite possible that Teunis Nyssen, who came to New Amsterdam in 1638, and removed to then Brooklyn (Flatbush), later removed to the Dutch Colony at Itamarca, Brazil, but returned to New York in 1654 along with Rev Polhemus and his family.
