Web Notes notes for Aron Isaac D' AGUILAR
His first child was born in Brazil in 1654.

This might be why he went to Brazil:
The Portuguese kings were unwilling to relinquish the benefits accruing to them from the wealth of the Jews and their commercial and scientific skills, hence the king through brute force drove the 190,000 Portuguese Jews to baptism in 1497. Almost the entire first generation of "New Christians" were Judaizers, or observers of Jewish rites in secret. Judaizers made use of every possible opportunity to emigrate from Portugal. As a result, the Portuguese Crown prohibited emigration of New Christians in 1499. In 1503 and 1506 there were terrible riots and massacres of New Christians in Lisbon. In 1507 the right to emigrate was restored. In 1532 the right to emigrate was again prohibited. In 1547 an Inquisitor for the kingdom was appointed. Subsequently Judaizers made every possible effort to leave Portugal. The discovery of Brazil in 1500 gave them new opportunity.

This might be how the family had the name Aguilar:
A district in the Spanish province of Valencia, which sheltered a considerable Jewish congregation in the Middle Ages. In consequence of the persecution by the Almohades, many of the Jews resident there pretended for a time to embrace Islam. In the year 1290 the Jews of the community paid 8,600 maravedis ($29,240 = £5,848) in taxes. In the civil war between Don Pedro the Cruel and his brother, Don Henry, the Jews of Aguilar suffered severely, and many of them were slain. A tombstone, with a Hebrew inscription dating from the fourteenth century, is to be found above the gate of Reinosa. The beautiful brass lamp, which toward the end of the sixteenth century still hung in the church of San Miguel in Aguilar, belonged originally to the synagogue there. It bears on its rim a Hebrew inscription, stating that it was made by Samuel ben Pinḥas Caro of Paredes. Many Spanish families have taken their name from this district.

This is why he left Recife, Brazil:
From The American Jew as patriot, soldier and citizen by Simon Wolf, Louis Edward Levy:
On the 23d of January, 1654, Recife, together with the neighboring cities of . . . was ceded to the Portuguese conquerors, with the condition that a general amnesty be granted. Although this stipulation was agreed upon, and the Jews, who were loyal supporters of Holland, were promised every consideration, the Portuguese governor, heeding the treacherous advice of jealous persons, ordered the Jews to quit Brazil at once. It must be admitted, in justice to Portugal, that he treated them kindly, inasmuch as he placed at their disposal sixteen vessels to carry then and their property anywhere they chose, and furnished them with passports and safeguards. Thus after a residence of several decades, Aboab, Aguilar, the Nassys, . . . returned to Amsterdam.
