Inés García de López de Santa Anna, also María Inés de la Paz García y Martínez de Uzcanga (Jan. 21, 1811 in Alvarado, Mexico – Aug. 23, 1844) was the First Lady of Mexico as the first wife of Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Anna.

Biography

She married Santa Anna in a ceremony on September 25, 1825, in Alvarado, in which her husband was not present.[1][2][3] Her parents were wealthy Spaniards.[1][4] Santa Anna received more than six million pesos as a dowry, as well as receiving a hacienda between Veracruz and Jalapa (today, Xalapa).[5][6] The couple would go on to have four children together: Guadalupe, María del Carmen, Manuel and Antonio.[4][7][1]

She served as the First Lady of Mexico in three separate periods: from March 1839 to July 1839 (Santa Anna's third term as president); October 1841 to October 1842 (Santa Anna's fourth term as president); and March 1843 to October 1843 (when Santa Anna served as dictator).[8] According to several sources, she was popular as First Lady.[9]

Santa Anna and his wife adopted a Texan boy, John Christopher Columbus Hill, as their son.[10][11] Hill had been captured during the siege of San Antonio, and was then sent to Mexico City, where he asked Santa Anna to free his imprisoned brother and father.[11] Santa Anna agreed, on the condition that he and his wife could adopt Hill.[11] Hill agreed and remained in Mexico, where he earned a doctorate from the Colegio de Minería (College of Mining).[11]

Frances Erskine Inglis, also known as Fanny Calderón, related in her 1843 book Life in Mexico after a stay at the hacienda that it was beautiful, and that her hostess offered her a cigarette from her gold and diamond cigarette case, which Fanny declined, and then her hostess lit a small paper cigarette, quite a contrast to the opulence of the case.[6] This was seen as scandalously modern.[6]

She died in August 1844 and was buried in the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral in the chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe.[6]
