Brigadier General Mark Flanigan (spelled Flannigan on the document) of Detroit served as the Wayne County Sheriff in 1862 and helped to subdue the participants of the Detroit Draft Riot of 1862. Shortly thereafter Flanigan and Judge Henry A. Morrow formed the Twenty-fourth Michigan regiment. He was thirty-seven years old, married with six children.

The official report of the battle, written by Colonel Henry A. Morrow who stated "Lieutenant-Colonel Flanigan lost his leg in the battle.
