John Smith never married Pocahontas. In fact, Pocahontas is only a nickname given to Matoaka meaning playful. When John Smith visited the Powhatan tribe he actually was treated very well. Matoaka was about 11 years old at the time. When Pocahontas was 17, she was abducted and imprisoned in Jamestown for a year. She was released after she agreed to marry John Rolfe. They had a son Thomas Rolfe and Matoaka, then known by the name of Rebecca Rolfe, died at the age of 22 in March of 1617.

Is capt john smith and john wolf the same person in the story of Pocahontas?

You're probably referring to John Rolfe, who should not be confused with John Smith. Captain John Smith was the colonial governor who was captured. He was released by Powhatan, perhaps after intervention by Powhatan's 12-year-old daughter Pocahontas. John Rolfe is the English gentleman whom Pocahontas later married.
