As was mandated in Germany, he attended school for eight years in his village and for a trade, he learned that of baker. On December 18, 1818, he and Maria Margareta Oppermann married. They lived in the village of Kaltenholzhausen in the homestead inherited by Maria Margareta. They had ten children, and they too attended the village school. Johann George pursued farming. Unlike many of his neighbors who had cattle, he owned a horse for plowing. This allowed him to haul iron ore in the off season from a mine at nearby Hahnstatten to the Eisenstein Iron Works in Nassau. In 1847 their son, Philip William, emigrated to the United States, paving the way for Johann George, Maria Margareta, and the five youngest children to come in 1848, leaving Le Havre, France around May 8 and arriving in New York on June 22. In leaving Germany they hoped to escape military training for their sons and the political conditions which lessened their economic opportunities. Through hard work and thrift, the Heymanns started their new life with a sum of $2,500--a good fortune in those times. On June 26, 1849, Johann George purchased 102 acres in Lyme Twp. and 94 acres in Sherman Twp. These parcels were sold to two of his sons on Dec. 30, 1866 and then subsequently passed on to another generation of Heymans. In retirement Johann George and Maria Margareta lived in the house west of the Hunt's Corners Church. Their home was a gathering place for the German community with an open door for newly arrived young men fleeing the German military system. One room was dedicated to German language instruction for the young people. Johann George was known for being very well read, but it is said that he was partial to his first language and did not learn much English. Johann George was a firm disciplinarian, led daily family devotions, strictly observed the Sabbath, and was an able singer in his church, which he supported with both time and money. In their last years Johann George and Maria Margareta lived with one or another of their sons; Maria Margareta passing away in 1872 and Johann George suddenly in 1881 as he was dressing for the noon meal.
