Ignacio Chaves Tellería was the President of Nicaragua from 1 January to 1 March 1891.[1] He was born in León, León, Nicaragua and died October 31, 1925, in León, León, Nicaragua. His parents were Eusebio Chaves and Ramona Tellería. He was married to Paulina López and their children were Ignacio, Tránsito, Dagoberto and Eusebio, all Chaves López. His first last name is Chaves, with S, and not Chávez, with accent and Z. Part of the confusion is that some of his children decided to write their last name as Chávez. In addition, people believed his second last name was López. That confusion arose from the fact that his son, Ignacio, wrote his name as Ignacio Chávez López. His registration certificate shows the correct names.[2]
