1860-1861 Lewis Owings
(1820-1875)
- Elected by a group of settlers in the southern half of the New Mexico Territory who drafted a constitution for a proposed Arizona Territory.  The US Congress rejected the proposal. 
[The New Mexico Territory of the US was established in 1846 and consisted, more or less, of what are now the states of Arizona and New Mexico.  The proposed Arizona Territory would take the southern halves of both present states.]
In 1861, a convention held in the proposed Arizona Territory voted to secede from the Union and join the Confederate States of America, with Owings remaining as governor.

1861-1862 John Baylor
(1822-1894)
- As Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate Army, Baylor's forces won decisive control of the proposed Arizona Territory in 1861, and he proclaimed himself governor.
In 1862, he issued an order to kill all adult Apache natives and take their children into slavery.  The order so appalled Confederate President Jefferson Davis that he relieved Baylor of command.
Davis's order was moot as far as the territory was concerned since it was lost to Union forces in July 1862.
