José Encarnación Chávez, son of Mariano Chávez and María Manuela Romero, married María Rita Torres of Belén. José Encarnación died at the age of sixty, 17 Jul 1863. The widowed María Rita Torres, with some of her married and single children, joined other families of Belén which moved north to the newly-opened territory which is now eastern Mora County. The date of this migration, from marriage and other data, can be placed at about 1860-1863. They first went to the already settled valley of La Cueva near Mora, where María Rita died at the age of sixty on 17 Jul 1863. The family then moved east into new country and founded La Ciruela in 1864.
