Henry Francis Fisher (in German Heinrich Franz Fischer, 1805–1867) was a German Texan. Born in Kassel, Electorate of Hesse in 1805, Fisher left the mainland in late 1833 spending a year each, in London and New York, and two in New Orleans. He crossed over into Texas either in 1837 or early 1838, stopping in Houston, Texas, where he served as consul to the Hanseatic League (Bremen) Texas. He became interested in the exploration and colonization of the San Saba, Texas, area and in 1839 was acting treasurer of the San Saba Company, which was later reorganized as the San Saba Colonization Company.[1] He was a key part in the Fisher–Miller Land Grant.[2] He spoke German and additionally Spanish and English when Texas came under Mexican and U.S. rules.
