Johannes "John" Mayer was born to Anthony and Maria Mayer in November 1794. As stated in the book, "Mayers in America" by Raymond A. Mayer (1970), John was born on the top of Broad Mountain (in Pennsylvania) while his parents were on their way to Mahantonga Valley (mountainous region of central Pennsylvania) and their new home.
John and his wife Catharine raised a large family while spending their lifetimes in the Mahantonga Valley. John was a farmer and was also considered an excellent carpenter (see below).
Johannes Mayer is attributed with a specific type of furniture produced in the time frame of 1827 to 1842. The furniture features the richness of the German culture that had been brought to the Pennsylvania area around the turn of the 19th century. The furniture featured painted embellishments such as tulips, birds, animals, and other flowers.
