Born in 1820 in Ånaryd, Ödestugu, Sweden, Johan began making weapons some time in the 1840s and made 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8-pipe pepper-box revolvers. His signatures were J ENGh and IEH. He died in 1918 in Hestra, Ödestugu, Sweden.

Several descendants of Johan Engholm emigrated to the US (mainly Illinois) in the beginning of the 20th century.
