Here is references to documents on "Old" John's marriage to Margareth Etherington etc.
I have found this on Ancestry and I don't know which archive they reside in. It is definately "old" John, as there are references to "late of Christian-sound, merchant, now of Kingston upon Hull" and "Thomas Moses, George Moses and Isaac Moses at Christiansound".
