John,
In the marriage license index I find these entries:

1. Juliana Abell 5/28/1811
2. Susan Martin 10/26/1819
3. Mary Ann Fiery 7/28/1827

I checked Frederick Co. 1778-1810 and didn't find Elizabeth Rench or Eva Worley. There are 4 Worley brides in the index but no Eva.

There is a death notice in the Maryland Herald, Aug. 1, 1804
"Died Saturday evening last, Mrs. Wolgamot, wife of John Wolgamot, at Wolgamot's Mill in this co."

The Maryland Herald, Oct. 22, 1801 lists several parcels in a land sale.
They included, "also all that part of lands conveyed to John and Mary Volgamot and by Jonathan Hager and Martin Kershner."

Aug. 3, 1814 edition of the Maryland Herald indicates John Wolgamot is an exec. of Mary Wolgamot. [There is an obituary for Mary WOLGAMAT 2 Mar. 1814 Maryland Herald.] "Died at her residence 5 miles from Hagers Town, Tues. 15th Ult., Mrs. Mary Wolgamot in the 75th year of her age." In other notices with regard to locations Wolgamot's Mill is said to be 5 miles from Hagers Town.

Note: In Estate Distributions:
AVEY, Peter. Adm. Isaac Long 2/12/1828; (a) Catherine (dead, share to John Coffman) (b) Mary (m. John Wolgamot) share to children; Barbara m. Henry Coffman, etc...."

Maryland Herald
Nov. 19, 1822
"Died Friday night last, Mrs. Elizabeth Wolgamot, consort of Capt. John Wolgamot."

Jan. 20, 1824
"Died Thursday last Mrs. Susan Wolgamot, wife of John Wolgamot Jr. and daughter of David Martin of this co., in the 25th year of her age."

Another announcement of this death in The Torchlight indicates she had a lingering illness and that she was interred in family burial ground on farm of Jacob Bostater. [Jan. 20, 1824 date of publication].

Here's Eve:
The Torchlight
August 28, 1828

"Married at York, Pa, Tues 19th inst. by Rev. James R. Reily, Capt. John Wolgamot of this co, to MRS. Eve Worley, of Franklin co Pa."

In Estate Distributions for John Wolgamot
Adm. John, Andrew & John A. Keedy. 9/26/1835; widow 1/5, John, Andrew, John A. Keedy, David, Daniel, Alfred, Henry, John Teisher and wife, Elizabeth, Margaret, Nancy, Joshua.

In the Will and Estate Index
Mary - will and estate documents 1813
Mary A. " 1876
John - estate document 1833, will and estate documents 1840
Joshua - estate documents 1840

WOLGOMOTH - Samuel - will and estate document 1789

John, I don't know how many John's you're dealing with!
