From Antoinette Duran Silva

"In 1800 families began moving to La Joya de Sevilleta from other locations in New Mexico. Some came from nearby towns in the Rio Abajo. Others traveled from Santa Fe; Plaza Dolores de Chimayo in the area of Santa Cruz de la Cañada; and Chama. Many came with friends and relatives. Through marriages of their children and grandchildren and baptisms, they became compadres.

"This migration reopened the area south of Sabinal to settlement. Although the danger from Apache raids was still evident and several early settlers were killed, the colony survived.

"On 4 June 1819, all the residents and inhabitants of La Joya de Sevilleta were assembled and the boundaries of this grant were established as follows: on the North the boundary of Sabinal, on the South, the Alamillo Arroyo, on the opposite side the arroyo called San Lorrenzo creek, on the East, a mountain in front of the said town and on the West, the Ladrones mountains."

According to The Spanish Recolonization of New Mexico, there were several Moya family members who likely relocated from Santa Fé to the Abiquiu jurisdiction in the later decades of the 1778's. José María Moya and Casilda Tórres had two know children baptized in Abiquiu. These were José Francisco Moya baptized on 6 Oct 1778, and Juan Cristóbal Moya, baptized on 7 Aug 1780. This family appear to member of the Moreno-Mora family, but where they fit into the family is unclear.
