Henry Brower was born and raised on the Brower Homestead in Coventry, Chester County, Pennsylvania. When he turned 21, he inherited half of his father Abraham Brower's plantation: 174+ acres.
He farmed the land in Coventry and married. Together, they had seven children, all born and raised in Coventry: Abraham, Amos, Gilbert, Nathan, Solomon, Sarah, and Daniel.
His mother Magdalena Brower's will of 1830 appoints her grandson (Henry's son) Abraham to be guardian in trust for her son Henry and his children. This suggests that Henry was incapacitated in some way. Indeed, he survived only two years longer than his mother, and was buried in the Brower Burial Ground (now part of Oak Grove) in Parker Ford.
