He was born in Bolonchén, Campeche, on 6 March 1843. His parents were Juan Francisco Molina Esquivel and Cecilia Solís.[2]
He was the most conspicuous character of the so-called Divine Caste, a term used by General Salvador Alvarado to designate the Yucatecan oligarchy of the early twentieth century or, more precisely, the group of hacendados henequeneros, or porfiriato henequenero, who controlled the state economy of Yucatán at that time.[3]
Molina Solís died in exile in Havana, Cuba on 28 April 1925.[4]
