Edward Kavanagh, the thirteenth governor of Maine, was born at Damariscotta Mills, Me., on April 27, 1795. He was the son of James Kavanagh, an immigrant from Ireland who arrived in Boston, Mass. in 1780, and of Sarah (Jackson) Kavanagh, a native of Boston. A Roman Catholic, Edward Kavanagh was educated at Jesuit colleges in Montreal and Georgetown, D.C. He graduated from St. Mary's College, Baltimore, Md., in 1813, after which he joined his father in the lumber and shipbuilding business. Then, following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, he traveled in Europe and Great Britain for two years. After returning home he studied law and, on admission to the bar, settled in Damariscotta Mills as a counselor. In 1826 Kavanagh was elected representative to the Maine Legislature. He served as secretary of the Senate of Maine in 1830 and from 1831 through 1835 was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1835 Kavanagh was appointed U.S. chargé d'affaires to Portugal by President Andrew Jackson. In this capacity he oversaw the settlement of the claims of American citizens abroad and the conclusion of a commercial and naval treaty between the United States and Portugal. In 1841 he retired from his foreign service post and In 1842 and 1843 was elected to the State Senate of Maine.
