By 1845, Noboa was cited, along with two Ecuadorian businessmen
José Joaquín de Olmedo and
Vicente Ramón Roca, as the founder of the ''Marcista'' (March) movement, which drew from the
U.S. Declaration of Independence to launch a rebellion.
Roca, who became president from 1845 to 1849, engaged in another power struggle with Noboa.
From 1849 to 1851, Noboa's political rivalry with two other figures,
Manuel de Ascásubi and Antonio Elizalde resulted in a civil strife. Noboa and Elizalde were described as
republicans who supported democracy and liberty while Ascazubi favored more authoritarian policies. This conflict led to the rise of
General José María Urvina, who in 1851 dominated the Ecuadorian politics through his presidency (1852-1860) and his influence on the presidency of
General Francisco Robles.
Noboa was the great-great-grandfather of
Gustavo Noboa Bejarano, who also became Ecuador's president (2000) and vice president under
Jamil Mahuad's administration.
