Henry Francis Fisher (1805-1867) was a native of Kassel, Hesse. He came to the Republic of Texas in 1837 or 1838 and served as consul for the Hanseatic League in Houston. He and Burchard Miller secured their land grant in 1842. Fisher took the lead in promoting the colonization of their grant; Miller did not take an active role. Image courtesy of Roland Getze.
