He was the son of Juan Bautista Sacasa Méndez and Casimira Sarria Montealegre, daughter of Ramón de Sarria y Reyes and Francisca Montealegre Romero (sister to Mariano Montealegre y Romero), themselves the offspring of Mariano Ignacio Montealegre Balmaceda and Casimira Romero Sáenz. Casimira was the daughter of Cecilio Antonio Romero Parajeles and Bárbara Sáenz Bonilla. Barbara, in turn, was the daughter of Manuel Sáenz Vázquez and Ana Antonia Bonilla Astúa, herself the daughter of Juan Bonilla Pereira and Francisca Astúa Cháves de Alfaro. Francisca was the daughter of Juan Astúa and Ana Cháves de Alfaro.
His brother Antioco Sacasa Sarria married Ramona Sacasa Cuadra , sister of Angela Sacasa Cuadra his wife.
