José Joaquín Moraga

 
 

My name is José Joaquín Moraga. I am 30 years old having been baptized in 1745 at Guevavi, Sonora (now Arizona). I was the alférez at the Fronteras Presidio when I was asked by Commander Anza to be the second in command of a very important expedition from Tubac to Monterey in Alta California. This trek will be taking many families to this new land. I have been asked to stay in Alta California and be responsible for starting a new presidio and settlement in the San Francisco area. Each of the ones staying is to bring his family. As my wife has been very ill, she is not able to take this trip so I had to decline, but Colonel Anza has given me permission for her to travel when she is well enough, and I am going.
