BTW, on the island, the surname custom is paternal + maternal surname.
If a woman marries she retains her birth surname and adds "de" + the husband's surname. So, your relative would be María Padilla + mother's surname de García.
I have already approved you for the group. You are welcome to post your question under the town or municipio where your Padilla family was from and someone else may have information for you.
Welcome to our group. If your Padilla are from anywhere near Morovis or Corozal, they are probably related to the Otero and Collazo families of that area.
