If you hogtie his friend (Nigel) and loot him, he's carrying a letter from back home.

According to the letter, it is implied that Gavin and Nigel have been writing to people back home, telling them that they're now rich cowboys with mansions and servants and such. The friend that has written this letter also states, near the end, that he bumped into someone they all know while at the market, and this person said that he had heard some "strange things" regarding Nigel and Gavin's relationship.

So... yeah.

In any event, Gavin is a complete Easter Egg. He's not in the game at all. He is a reference to Gavin Free, a real life member of the Achievement Hunters. This is evident by the fact that two of his fellow Achievement Hunters ( Geoff Ramsey and Jack Pattillo) are also in the game, in Valentine. One is the Hotel clerk. The other is at the post office.

The joke is that apparently Gavin is always late for stuff or whatever, and in the case of doing the voice work for the game, he didn't show up on the day in question. So... they came up with Nigel, walking around, wondering where the heck Gavin was.

Thanks for sharing!! I went there to collect the head and took some photos, just in case someone can’t find it.

The Eugene Hutton deal may simply be world-building. After all, the story of Eugene Hutton is one of the movies in the theatre. So they may just simply be adding it in to add fun to the story and his interactions with the British or whatever. In fact, I bet watching movies can lead you to potential other leads and easter eggs to look for in the game's world.

Also probably not related but here's a real Eugene Hutton from Virginia from the mid 1800s https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/view/Military.aspx?tid=6043734&pid=254736873&vid=5a4fa912-2f3a-437b-b2dc-9eaf58e8def3

I've posted this in other threads, but reposting here for those who missed it. I think it answers the whole Gavin thing quite well:

Oh ok. Still, the background of that picture does look like it is New Austin to me. At least it does not look like something you'd find in the first 6 chapters of the game.

I was a bit mistaken about beardless Bill. He wasn't in any of the trailers but he is found on the R* website at the town of Rhodes: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/features/frontiercitiesandtowns

The only beardless Bill we encounter in the game is seen in Pearson's photo in his store.
