Biography
A non-commissioned captain in the 19th NY regiment, eventually converted into artillery. Eventually 'mutinied' along with much of the 19th regiment, due to not being released after the 3 month draft period ended. Arrested in August 1861 as a result of this incident. Mentioned by FMS in 18620928FMS_WHS, in which his wife, Mary, asks WHS for his influence in helping to see her husband. There is a record of an Owen Gavigan in the state asylum in 1891-1892 that may be the same man. https://search.ancestrylibrary.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?dbid=4468&h=29466&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=7181
