Antonio José de Sucre

n. (1793-1830) Venezuelan general and South American independence leader who was the first president of Bolivia (1826-1828)

Antonio José de Sucre y Alcalá (February 3 1795 –  June 4 1830) was a South American independence leader. Sucre was one of Simón Bolívar's closest friends, generals and statesmen. Sucre was born to a wealthy and prominent family in Cumaná, Venezuela, which was then part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada and the Captaincy-General of Venezuela. There is some dispute as to his ancestry. According to one noted Venezuelan genealogist, Sucre is a descendant of Charles de Succre, a member of a French-Flemish family appointed by the king of Spain to be governor of Cuba. According to the German "Lexikon des Judentums", however, Sucre is a descendant of a Bavarian Jewish family named "Zucker".
