Hello Lisa,
in North-West of Germany is Niemeyer a common name - check this URL:

There are catholics and lutherans area - is your John Henry Niemeyer catholic?

The emigration book of the catholic area Lingen / Ems (former Hannover province) listed some Niemeyers, but not yours.
The next one is:
Johann Henrich Niemeyer, born 30.Aug.1812 in the village Bernte, parish Emsbühren,
also the brothers Gerhard Henrich born 1822 and Gerhard Johann born 1815 and the sisters Margaretha Adelheid and Maria Adelheid - no emigration date is given.

You can find the name also in Oldenburg province - Cloppenburg area.

Good luck,
Werner Honkomp
