Gómez Farías family.

Hide Profile

Born in 1781 in Guadalajara, Valentín Gómez Farías was elected vice-president under Antonio López de Santa Anna in 1833. In 1833, 1834, 1846, and 1847, he served intermittently as interim president in Santa Anna's absence. Benito Gómez Farías, son of Valentín, was born in 1828. Benito spent much of his adult life abroad, especially in London where he served as his fatherʹs business agent and then with the Mexican diplomatic legation there. In 1891, Porfirio Díaz appointed Benito Minister of Finance. Benito returned to the Mexican Consulate in London as Ambassador and Plenipotentiary Minister from 1892-1893, then was appointed as the Secretary of the Treasury and Public Finance from 1893-94. Benito also served for a time as a Senator. He moved his family to the Hacienda El Molina de Pedreguera (also called San Roque) in Xalapa, Veracruz, in 1905. María Luisa Gómez Farías de Dehesa, born in 1880, was the youngest of Benito's six children. She married Ramón Dehesa, son of Veracruz governor Teodoro Dehesa, in 1911. María inherited the Hacienda El Molino de Pedreguera from her parents. Her youngest daughter, Valentina Dehesa Gómez Farías de Montalvo, was born in 1918. She devoted most of her life to the reconstruction and maintenance of the Hacienda El Molino de Pedreguera, which she inherited from her parents.
