Johan Ennes was the grandson of the Scottish religious refugee, John Innes who had left Scotland in 1580. Johan's father, Johan, was born in Emden and his mother was Catharina Hoffmans. Johan Ennes himself was born in Helsingborg in the 1640s, and like his forefathers, he worked as a merchant, although he also supplied the fleet in Carl XI time and built apier in Helsingore. Johan married Johanna Johansdotter, the borgmästare's daughter from Helsinore. He died in Landskrona in 1712 where he was buried.
