Major Finis Ewing Kavanaugh & Colonel Dan Showalter were in Baird's 4th Tx Cavalry.
.
Kavanaugh family records: "All I know is that he was alive as of late February 1866 in Mazatlan, because he apparently co-owned a bar with former Capt. Dan Showalter. Showalter was shot and killed in a bar fight, reportedly with Kavanaugh." ... See a photo of F.E. Kavanaugh's burial place in Mexico City on Ancestry.com.
