Don José María was born in Concepción on March 25, 1799 and at the age of 12 he enlisted as a cadet in the ´´los Dragones´´ regiment, two years later he was standard bearer of the Hussars of the Great Guard for which he fought in Chillán. He served as O'Higgins' assistant in all subsequent campaigns.
During the reconquest, in Mendoza he was an Instructor Officer of the Army of Los Andes. He fought in Chacabuco and was later promoted to Captain and assigned to the Arauco infantry battalion. Leading the Regiment of Hunters of the Directorial escort (which replaced the Arauco regiment) he fought in Cancha Rayada and Maipú, after which he was appointed Major. O'Higgins decorated him with the Legion of Merit, and then when he abdicated he was commander of his bodyguard.
He retired from the Army, but returned to the ranks in the revolution of 1829. He was appointed by Portales as Minister of War in 1830.
He was Chief of the General Staff and participated in the war against the Peruvian Bolivian Confederation, directing the site of Callao. Returned to Chile, he was appointed Mayor of Valparaíso and Commander General of the navy by President Bulnes.
