Henry Fowler (1799 – ?) was a farmer and local politician who served as a member of both the Maryland House of Delegates and the Wisconsin State Assembly during terms ranging from 1834 to 1872.
Biography edit
Fowler was born on September 9, 1799, in St. Mary's County, Maryland.[1] He later settled in the Town of Milwaukee in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and was a farmer by trade.
Political career edit
Fowler was a member of the House of Delegates for St. Mary's County from 1834 to 1836 and was also a member of the St. Mary's County Board of Commissioners. He would serve in the Wisconsin Assembly during the 1865, 1867 and 1872 sessions.[2] Other positions Fowler held included member of the board of supervisors (similar to a city council) of the Town of Milwaukee, and of the board of supervisors of Milwaukee County. He was a Democrat.
He does not seem to be connected to the Henry J. Fowler who would serve as a Democratic member of the House of Delegates from St. Mary's County from 1951–1970.
