*some sources, including Burke’s Royal Families of the World, Volume II, suggest that he left an illegitimate daughter by a lady from Arequipa in Peru: Doña Jesusa de Iturbide. b. in Peru, ca 1840. Hon Presdt Catholic Ladies' Union of Peru. m. H.E. Don José Nicolás Baltasar Fernández de Piérola é Villena (b. at Camana, Arequipa, Peru, 5^th January 1839; d. at Lima, Peru, 23rd June 1913), Minister for Finance 1868-1871, Supreme C-in-C 1879-1881, Leader of the Democratic Party 1882, Presdt of the Republic of Peru 1895-1899, nicknamed 'El Califa'. She had issue, three children. However, it is very clear from the marriage and death certificates of this lady, that she was the legitimate daughter of a Don Joaquín de Itúrbide, by his wife, Doña Antonia Cadorna.

Details of Don Joaquín de Itúrbide's family have not been established. A certain Don Joaquín Sotomayor é Iturbide is listed as a Knight-Page of Honour to Emperor Augustin I in the Court Directory during the Emperor’s reign. Another Señor Don Joaquín de Iturbide, a relative of Santa Ana, served as Primary Official of the Ministry of the Interior and Ecclesiastical Relations 1832-1835, and Hacienda 1835-1836, Mexican Minister for the Interior in 1839, and for Justice in 1841. It is just possible that one of these gentlemen may be the same as the father of Doña Jesusa. The link with Mexico and Emperor may be real, though considerably confused.
