Orden del Sol (women)Biography:
Probably from Peru, she was awarded the Orden del Sol by San Martín in 1822 in February 1822, and also appears posteriormente de decreto de 11 del pasado. (Gaceta de Lima, 23-1-1822, p.4; Gaceta de Lima, 6/2/1822, p.4.)

See also María Josefa de Tagle y Portocarrero who is possibly the same woman, although she does not appear to have been awarded the Orden del Sol.
