From Cali, she was married to Francisco Antonio Caicedo de la Llera, who was shot by the royalists in 1816. Her son Nicolás, aged around 16 years, was exiled to Bogotá. Tomasa Cuerdo was sent to Popayán in December 1816 where she, and several other women were held in the Convento del Carmen. The royalist nuns treated them like "mujeres despreciables y de mala vida" for their support of the independence cause. (Monsalve, 259)
