He was born in Orizaba, Veracruz State, a nephew of Pablo de la Llave.[1] He participated in the Mexican–American War, in the 1851 revolution against Santa Anna, in the Reform War (against the conservatives), and (on the nationalist side) against Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. He died as a result of battle injuries sustained in 1863.
