John Seymer was born probably about 1535. Where he was born is not known, but he lived at Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire from his first marriage until his death. Sawbridgeworth was a rural parish on the Essex border, about twenty five miles northeast of London, and was locally pronounced "Sapsearth."

On 11 November 1560 he married Jone Androw. She was buried on 3 October 1561 and left no children. On 9 May 1562 he married Dyzory Porter, who outlived him.

Their children were baptised at Sawbridgeworth: Annis on 6 March 1562/3, Jone on 18 October 1567, Mary on 28 October 1570, Robert on 30 November 1573, John on 30 September 1576, Dorothy on 6 September 1579, Peter on 11 February 1582/3 and William on 9 February 1583/4. Mary probably died young. William was buried in August 1587.

He made his will on 7 October 1605 and was buried on 23 October: "John Seymer ye elder was buryed ye xxiijth day of October." The will was proved on 13 November 1605.
