I am one of the distributees of the Estate of Major John Ma c arillo, and as such I have to ask that any amount of Half pay, or commutation pay due Maj. Ma c arillo, may not be paid to Colo. Henry Northrup.
He is irresponsible, and so, I am informed are his securities.
In due time, his Power of Administration will be revoked. Indeed, they were originally illegal, the qualification not having been made in this state.
Have the honor to be

John Mazarick da Half pay Oct 22 1845

Pension Office
October 22 d 1845.
I certify that I have examined the case of John Mazarrett ; and I find that in 1837 half-pay under the act of July 5: 1832, entitled "an act to provide for liquidating and paying certain claims of the State of Virginia," was allowed at the rate of $360 per annum from the 22 d of April 1783 till his death. The administrator now claims half-pay from the 6 th of February seventeen hundred and eighty one, when Mazarrett became a supernumerary officer, and he at the rate of three hundred and seventy five dollars per annum. My opinion is that the claim should be allowed. I therefore certify that Henry Northup, as administrator of John Mazarrett, who was a Major of Artillery in the Virginia State Troops, is entitled to half pay at the rate of $375 per annum from the 6 th February 1781 to the 5 th of July 1793, deducting the payment made to the former administrator
Robert Hall in 1837.
