The Franciscans desired a re-establishment of these pueblos, but Governor Mendoza would not act without special instructions from the viceroy. The governor was blamed for not aiding in. the pro- jects of the missionaries, and one of the frailes says that twice as many converts might have been made at Moqui had their efforts been seconded by the governor and his officers. These Tiguas were settled in various pueblos and were given the sum of two thousand dollars in live stock and other property. Mendoza’s rule ended in 1743, and the records show no complaints other than those made by the friars. The next governor was Don Joaquin Codallos y Rabal, who ruled slightly over his full term from 1748 to 1749.
