Johannes was the second of seven children of Bernhardus Meÿering and Anna Gildbus. He was born in Holtwick. His baptismal sponsors were Henrich Te Gildehus and Henderse Horninck.

Johannes married Theodora Hogankamp on 15 November 1765, probably in Bocholt. The coat of arms of the town is shown here.

Between 1766 and 1772, Johannes and Theodora had five children, including Wesselius Meyering.

Their second child was born in Lowick, so the family may have lived there.

Johannes died at age 86.
