John is named in the marriage bond as "John Pool, butcher of Barlestone", and a John Pool, butcher of Barlestone died in 1802. However, the children mentioned in the will of that John Pool don't correspond to the children of John and Rebecca, so I think the one who died in 1802 may have been this John's father. The will in fact refers to the children of a deceased son John, who may be this John.
