Biographical Information

Beginning in 1632 the General Assembly permitted localities to pay rewards to persons who killed wolves. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries these laws were amended, repealed, and reenacted. An act passed by the General Assembly during its session begun in October 1778 made the auditor of public accounts responsible for reimbursing localities for destruction of "Noxious Animals," which included wolves.
