Dr Sir
The business relative to the claims of the heirs of Chas. Worthington who was an heir of Capt. Edward Worthington, I find by enquiry to be as follows
J. J. Williams of Washington City administrator of the estate of Capt. Worthington drew from the U.S. Treasury through his agent S. J. G. Trabue. $7147.50 April March 1 st 1850 which Williams entrusted to Trabue to pay to the heirs and take their vouchers for the same.
Trabue refuses to pay to the heirs unless we will take one half of the sum drawn without interest and as he Trabue has no authority from us to draw the money we have no recourse on him. though he has the money
April 31 st 1850 we gave to Isaac H. Trabue a power of atty to collect

and pay to us our claims against government which he has not done for his brother has our money in his hands and they are both hav- ing the use of it
I wish therefore that you would inform me what we must do that you may draw the money from the administrators
Capt Worthington left six heirs of whom Chas Worthington was one who left seven heirs
As this business is out of the hands of government it is out of your line of duty as our Rep in Congress therefore if you will prosecute this our claim we will reward you for the same

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.19205, it appears that Edward Worthington was a Captain in the Illinois Regiment of the Virginia State Line, War of the Revolution, and continued to serve in that capacity until April 22, 1783.
After his death, the date of which is not shown, commutation of pay for his services was allowed for the benefit of six heirs. Charles Worthington is the only one whose name is stated.
In 1853, it is stated that Charles Worthington left seven heirs, names are not given, nor is the date of his death given
It is suggested that you consult the Old Records Division, War Department, this city, for further information relative to the above named Edward Worthington. 050197
Very truly yours,
along with EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
