82 2984 Spain Seoane Antonio 1790 1862 
= General Antonio Seoane was one of the "ayacuchos", the nickname given by the opponents of the Spanish general Baldomero Espartero to the military men grouped around him. The name comes from the fact that all of them had participated in the Battle of Ayacucho (1824) that put an end to the Spanish-American wars of independence. General Seoane commanded the Queen of Spain's Army against the Carlists. Ricardo Federico de la Saussaye (1806-1872), was a military officer, who rose to the rank of general commander of the province of Segovia in 1840. From October 1842 he remained abroad until 1850.
