Robert Fletcher (1815-1885) was a Reconstruction era politician in North Carolina who served in the North Carolina House of Representatives.[1] He served his community in other positions including being a sub-elector and a county commissioner.
Fletcher was born in 1815 in North Carolina and was an African American of Congo descent[2] and described as literate.
He was elected in April 1868 to serve as commissioner for Richmond County.[3] Later that year in October he was appointed as a Republican sub-elector for the county.[4] He served on the Pitt County Board of Assessors in 1869 and then as the Richmond County commissioner the following year in 1870.
A convention of the Richmond County Republicans in July 1870 nominated Fletcher to run for the house.[5] H. S. Wade stood as an independent Radical against him.[6] Before the election it was reported that Fletcher was in favor of impeaching governor William Woods Holden.[7] Fletcher was elected to serve in the North Carolina House of Representatives in September 1870.[8] At the start of 1872 he co-signed a letter by governor Tod Robinson Caldwell printed in the newspapers to discourage the Colored people of North Carolina from being tempted by offers of work in other states.[9] He was re-elected in 1972[10] but failed reelection when he stood for the final time in 1974.[11] He kept involved in politics including attending the Richmond County Republican Conventions and giving a speech at the 1876 event.[12]
