José Antonio Rincón

Lifespan: (1776 – 1846)
Place of birth: Jalapa

Biography

José Antonio Rincón (1776-1846) was born and died in Jalapa (Veracruz). A royalist officer during the War of Independence, he adhered to the Plan de Iguala only after the port and garrison of Veracruz was occupied on 28 October 1821 by the liberating forces led by Santa Anna and his brother Manuel Rincón.

José Antonio Rincón went on to support Emperor Agustín de Iturbide, and was one of the leading yorkinos in Veracruz by the mid-1820s. Rincón was military Commander of Veracruz in 1827 when he led the pronunciamiento of 25 July 1827 against the escocés-dominated State Congress and its governor Miguel Barragán.

Following Santa Anna and Vicente Guerrero’s intervention, Rincón found himself facing a court-martial which lasted until April 1828. Although he was ultimately absolved, he lost his influence over the port.

In 1832 he was appointed Brigadier General and he subsequently served as Jefe Político Superior of the province of Tabasco.
