I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of Wharton Quarles, deceased, who
claims half pay on account of the service of the said Quarles as a Quarter Master in the 2d
Virginia State regiment, and I find that he left the service as such on the 6th February 1781 [sic]
as a supernumerary, and died on the 22d February 1804; and for service as a Lieutenant half pay
has already been allowed. In conformity with the decision of the Acting Secretary of the Interior,
in the case of William Graves, deceased the claim for service as Quarter Master should be
allowed at the rate of seventy-eight dollars per annum from the sixth of February seventeen
hundred and eighty-one to the twenty second of February eighteen hundred and four, and that
the amount is payable to Erastus T. Montague, Attorney of Robert Pollard, administrator of said
Wharton Quarles, deceased.
Approved Commissioner of Pensions
Secretary of the Interior.
