In 1635 he returned to England for a short time but was back in Roxbury before Nov 20, 1637 when he and others were warned to give up all arms because "the opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced and led into dangerous errors many of the poeople here in New England". They were among those who were banished from Mass. with Mr. Anne Hutchinson in 1638. The Rev. John Eliot, in his record of Church Members of the First Church at Roxbury, states:!RECOORDS: "Phillip Serman, he came into the Land in the year 1633, a single man, & after married Sarah Odding, the daughter of the wife of John Porter, by a former husband. this man was of a melancholy temp, he lived honestly and comfortable among us several years. Upon a just calling went for England, & returned againe with a blessing: But after his father in Law John Porter was so caryed away with those opinions of familisme, & scizme, he followed them and removed with them to the Iland, he behaved himself sinfully in those matters and was cast out of the church."
