John Wolgamot - Washington County

From minutes and proceedings of Washington County Court held at Elizabethtown 4/14/1797 - Court appointed John Wolgamot guardian of Catherine, Henry, John, Joseph, and Susannah Welty.Christian and Ann Welty Palmer were were chosen by Christly Welty and Mary Welty.If John Wolgamot was appointed guardian over many of the children, it makes me wonder if he was related.
John Wolgamot was administrator of the estate, and by 1798, other guardians were appointed to Henry, Catherine and John. He may have only been a temporary guardian.The children's mother, Catherine, shows as purchaser at public auction, of most of Christian Welty's estate.John Wolgamot is shown as buying one item.
