FONTAINE, EDWARD (1814-1884). Edward Fontaine, early minister and amateur naturalist, was born in Greenwood, Virginia, on August 5, 1814, the son
of Patrick Henry and Nancy (Dabney) Fontaine and greatgrandson of Patrick Henry. He was admitted to the United States Military Academy, West Point, in
July 1830 but was discharged in July 1832 because of a deficiency in math. He was admitted to the bar on February 28, 1835. That year he worked in
Pontotoc, Mississippi, as a draftsman on the survey of Chickasaw lands acquired by the federal government.
He became active in the Methodist Episcopal Church, was admitted to the ministry in 1838, and served in Texas at Houston and Galveston by 1840, but
later that year he relinquished his ministry. He married Mary Ann Swisher in November 1840, and they had three sons. From May to October 1841 he was
private secretary to President Mirabeau B. Lamar.qv There being no clergyman of any denomination in Austin, Fontaine resolved to do what he could for
the religious welfare of his fellow citizens. He organized a Sunday school and preached to all comers, black and white, at informal services in the
Capitol or outside in an oak grove. When the seat of government was moved away from Austin and Lamar's term had ended, Fontaine taught school in
Independence and Gay Hill in 1842-43. He may have participated in the Somervell expeditionqv in the fall of 1842. About 1843 he went to Mississippi,
where he entered the Episcopal Church and was ordained to the ministry on May 14, 1848. In 1851 he returned to Austin as rector of the Church of the
Epiphany. He supervised the building of a church, completed and consecrated in May 1855, that became part of the present St. David's Church, Austin.
Fontaine's wife died in 1855. In 1859 he married Mrs. Susan Taylor Britton. They had several children, but only two lived to maturity. In Austin
Fontaine was active as a clergyman, politician, and amateur naturalist. He traveled widely, served as chaplain of the Texas Senate in 1857-58, and
advocated establishment of a state university and a geological survey.
The church suffered in antebellum Texas qv because of a division in the membership on questions of slavery and secession.qqv Fontaine resigned his
charge in Austin and moved to Mississippi in 1859. He was captain of Company H, Eighteenth Regiment, Mississippi Volunteers, and chief of ordnance of
the Mississippi Army during the Civil War.qv He served subsequently as rector at St. Mark's, Mississippi, and at Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. He was
a member of the New York Historical Society, the Maryland Academy of Science, and the New Orleans Academy of Science. He delivered addresses and wrote
papers about his various scientific interests. His lectures included "How the World Was Peopled" (1872), which contained information on the
natural history of Texas, "Winds of the Gulf States" (1873), and "A Lecture on the Peculiarities of the Physical Geography of the
Mississippi River and its Delta" (1874). He died at Belvidere, Mississippi, on January 19, 1884.
