What does もん mean in a sentence like the one below:

うちのもんが卒業{そつぎょう}しまして

It is used like "myself" in English, to reinforce "I"? So, sort of like "I myself" graduated? And when is it used?

    Could you provide some context? Maybe some of the surrounding sentences?

もん is a casual way of saying もの(者、物). This もん is 者. うちのもん means "a person who belongs to the speaker's own family" or "a person who is close to the speaker".
