Born in Las Víboras, now Carmelo, Uruguay, on 18 August 1771, she looked after her brother José de San Martín when he was young. They returned to Spain in 1784 and she married Rafael González Menchaca in Madrid. San Martín was very close to her and in his will he provided a pension of 1,000 francs per year for her and on her death, payment of 250 francs to her daughter Petronila. She died in Spain in 1853.
