See Carmen Rodríguez de Gaitan. This could be the same person.

In 1816, she accompanied Isabel de Caicedo de Baraya and Antonio Baraya as they fled south from Bogotá. They were captured in Portillo, Baraya was taken immediately to Bogotá; the women arrived there a little later after having been robbed of all their belongings by the royalist soldiers. (Monsalve, 141)

She and her family were exiled to Tocaima by Morillo in August 1816. She was probably held in the Cárcel Chiquita beforehand. (Monsalve, 157, 159)
