Henry was born on September 18, 1856 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, and was always identified with that city. He was the descendant of John Stockbridge who emigrated from England about 1635 and settled in Scituate, Massachussets, and son of Henry Smith Stockbridge and Fanny E. (Montague) Stockbridge. He was the nephew of Levi Stockbridge and the cousin of Horace Edward Stockbridge.
He went to OverLea School near Catonsville, to Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Massachussets, and graduated from Amherst College in 1877. He received the LL. B. degree from the law school of the University of Maryland the following year.
After studies Stockbridge was taken into partnership in his father's law office and remained in active practice until his elevation to the bench. In 1882 he received the appointment as examiner in equity in the Baltimore courts and served six years. He also found time for some political writing for the Morning Herald in 1882-83 and during 1887-88 for editorial articles for the Baltimore American.
In 1888 he won the congressional seat from Isidor Rayner after a stubborn fight, in which, for the first time since the Civil War, the Republicans of Baltimore City elected a representative to Congress, and he served one term.
He accepted the position of commissioner of immigration for Baltimore from 1891 to 1893, a non-salaried position involving the organization of the service. In 1896 he became associate judge of the supreme bench of Baltimore.
In April 1911 the Democratic governor, Austin Crothers, appointed him to the court of appeals, and the following fall he was elected with virtually no opposition. Failing health prevented the completion of his fifteen-year term, and he withdrew from active work in December 1923.
His judicial duties did not debar him from manifold other activities. He lectured at the University of Maryland from 1899 to 1914; he served as regent of the university from 1907 to 1920, as president of the board of trustees of the endowment fund from 1905 to his death, and as provost for a brief period in 1912.
Trustee of Enoch Pratt Free Library for many years, member of innumerable learned societies, he was particularly active in patriotic organizations.
He died in Baltimore.
Henry Stockbridge directed the efforts of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to the Americanization of immigrants, himself preparing an excellent handbook on the subject. Under congressional charter he became one of the incorporators and chairman of the Maryland branch of the Red Cross. He served with such distinction as a member from Maryland on the commission on uniform state laws that he was made its president.

For many years active in the Congregational Church, he withdrew his membership and became a member of the Presbyterian Church.
He was a member of the state Republican committee for two years and gave his advice in the formulation of party strategy during the nineties.
His opinions from the bench reveal the extent of his legal erudition, his perception of justice, his capacity for clarity of statement and for logical application of the rules of law and evidence - qualities that have made them a guide for other jurists. His associates recognized in him the sturdiness, energy, thrift, and conscientiousness characteristic of his New England strain, while his deep conservatism aroused the antagonisms of organized labor.
He was married on January 5, 1882, to Helen M. Smith of Hadley, Massachussets They had two sons.
