Stature of Santo Domingo - Parque Independencia 1449

General José Antonio Salcedo y Ramírez, "Pepillo" (1816–1864) was born in Madrid, Spain from creole parents of Spanish heritage who had been born in Santo Domingo, and moved to Spain in the year 1815.[1] The names of his parents were José María Salcedo and Luisa Ramírez y Marichal. Leaving Spain, the family moved to Cuba when Salcedo was a year old before settling in the Cibao valley. He grew up near the border of Haiti where he managed large tracts of land, herds of livestock, and a rich timber business in the towns of Hatillo Palma, Estero Balsa, and Botoncillo in the northwest.

Salcedo led a civil war which aimed at the restoration of the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Restoration War began on August 16, 1863, and by September 14, 1863 a Provisional Government was established, over which the general presided. After he became the 1st head of state of the Dominican Republic, the general was opposed by the Nationalist movement, who viewed his policies as favoring those supporting the annexation of the country. On October 15, 1864, Head of State Salcedo sent word to his wife (who lived in Guayubín) with a young soldier who was nearly in his mid-twenties named Ulises Heureaux. After on the same day, he was assassinated by Coronel Agustín Masagó by the order of General Gaspar Polanco.

Salcedo married Águeda Rodríguez of Guayubín, Monte Cristi. Together they had at least four children: José Tomás (born 1841 and married Rosa Elvira Brea in 1869[2]), Antonia (born 1846[3]), Cristina (born 1851[4]), and Julia (married Rosendo Batista in 1888[5]) Salcedo y Rodríguez. Antonia Salcedo married and had a daughter with another Restoration figure, Dionisio Troncoso (1834-1891), named Antonia María Troncoso y Salcedo.[6] A great granddaughter of Pepillo, Genoveva Cruz, was 95 in 2017.[7]

The town of Pepillo Salcedo, in Monte Cristi province, was named in his honor.
