Owings (September 6, 1820-August 20, 1875) was an American politician, physician, and businessman from Tennessee who served as the 2nd Governor of Arizona Territory (Confederate), in exile, from 1862 to 1865. He had previously served as provisional governor of Arizona Territory from 1860 to 1861.; In 1860 Owings was chosen as Provisional Governor of "Arizona Territory"--a region including New Mexico and Arizona--in an organization convention at Tucson ... Owings nevertheless proceeded to carry out the official functions of a de facto governor in the largely unorganized territory and established three militia companies to protect residents from Indian raids and border smugglers. Owings held the post until August 1,1861, when the Arizona Territory was formally reorganized by the Confederacy and declared south of the 34th Parallel by Lieutenant Colonel John R. Baylor, who then assumed the governorship. ( (Wikipedia accessed September 28, 2021) )
