From Mexico, she was married to Carlos María de Bustamente.
The Viceroy offered Bustamente an amnesty in 1814, and when Bustamente refused it, the Viceroy ordered her arrest. She then fled to join Bustamente in Zacatlán, Puebla. They left Zacatlán in September 1814 when it fell into royalist control, and tried unsuccessfully to enter the United States. (Vizzini, 170)
