Henry Taylor Blow
Henry Taylor Blow (July 15, 1817 – September 11, 1875) was a two-term U.S. Representative from Missouri and an ambassador to both Venezuela and Brazil.
==Early life==
Henry was born in Southampton County, Virginia, to Captain Peter and Elizabeth (Taylor) Blow, owners of the famous slave Dred Scott.〔Charles Van Ravenswaay, ''St. Louis: An Informal History of the City and Its People, 1764-1865'', (Missouri Historical Society Press, 1991), 406.〕 He moved with his parents to Huntsville, Alabama, where his father unsuccessfully tried farming.〔 In 1830 the family moved again to St. Louis, Missouri, where Peter Blow opened a boarding house, and hired out his slaves, including Dred Scott, who worked as a roustabout.〔 Henry's mother died in 1831, followed by his father the next year.〔
Henry Blow graduated from Saint Louis University〔John Thomas Scharf, ''History of Saint Louis City and County: From the Earliest Periods to the Present Day'', Volume 1, (Louis H. Everts & Co., 1883), 608.〕 and started apprenticing in a law office, but was forced by the deaths of his parents to become a clerk in his brother-in-law Charless' business, selling paint and oil.〔Walter Ehrlich, ''They Have No Rights'', (Applewood Books, 2007), 10-11.〕 His acumen for business was so industrious that by 1838 he was a partner in Charless, Blow and Company.〔 He married Minerva Grimsley (1821–1875), daughter of wealthy saddle manufacturer, Colonel Thornton and Susan (Stark) Grimsley,〔 by whom he had eight children. One of them, Susan Elizabeth Blow, became a noted nineteenth-century educator〔Susan E. Blow, Kathleen G. Winterman, ''Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent'', Vol. 1, (SAGE Publications Inc., 2010), 109.〕 who started the nation's first all-district kindergarten.〔Carol Ferring Shepley, ''Movers and Shakers, Scalawags and Suffragettes: Tales from Bellefontaine Cemetery'', (Missouri History Museum Press, 2008), 34. 〕
