Biography

José Mariano Hernández Martínez was born on 28 July 1786 in Suchitoto, San Salvador, then a part of New Spain. His parents were Andrés Antonio Hernández and Juana María Martínez.^[1] From 1822 to 1823, Hernández was a Salvadoran soldier and fought against Mexican forces during its conquest of El Salvador.^[2]

In 1852 and 1854, Hernández served as a deputy of the Senate of El Salvador.^[2] On 14 February 1854, Hernández became vice president of El Salvador under President José María San Martín.^[1] From 26 September 1854 to 13 November 1854, he served as acting president.^[2] He resigned from the vice presidency on 13 November 1855. In 1856, he became a deputy of the Senate and served as its president from 21 January 1856 to 14 April 1856. He returned to the Senate in 1857 and 1859, and served as the governor of the Chalatenango and Cuscatlán Departments during the latter Senate term.^[1] On 24 April 1859, Hernández was assaulted and seriously injured by Tubircio Santa Cruz in an attack on his home. Santa Cruz was subsequently executed by firing squad on 9 May 1859.^[2]

During the War of 1863, Hernández came out of military retirement and commanded forces for President Gerardo Barrios at the Battle of Coatepeque. After the battle, Barrios ordered Hernández's arrest and he fled to Guatemala to support Francisco Dueñas' invading army.^[1] He recognized Dueñas as El Salvador's president.^[3]

Hernández married Vicenta González. He died in Suchitoto on 21 October 1864. He was buried at the Parroquial church.^[1]
