About Juan Antonio Ovalle
Lived 1750 – 1819 (aged 68–69). Juan Antonio Ovalle was a Chilean lawyer and politician.
Juan Antonio Ovalle y Morales ( – July 12, 1819) was a Chilean politician, lawyer and landowner. He served as the first president of the First National Congress of Chile where he was elected as deputy for Santiago.
Ovalle served as Procurator of Santiago from to May 1810 when he was arrested by the royalist government and sent to Callao, returning to the Captaincy General of Chile shortly afterwards.
His tenure as congressman came to an end following the 1811 coup d'état when José Miguel Carrera issued a decree decreasing the number of deputies for Santiago. He was subsequently confined to his estancia in Curacaví.
Ovalle was afterwards sent to the Juan Fernández Islands in November 1814, being finally returned to the mainland in September 1815.
