george fisher (settler)

Fisher, George (1795-1873) originally from Hungary, travels to the US, becomes a Mexican citizen in 1829. Fisher is in charge of a customs house at the far north end of Galveston Bay, Texas. He succeeded the very unpopular John D. Bradburn in this post. Fisher demands that all ships landing at the mouth of the Brazos River pay their customs duties to him at Anahuac. This is a great hardship to all boat captains due to great distances between that port and other Texas seaports. Fisher is forced to resign his post in early 1832 after a military confrontation with Texan settlers.
