MOSES. There are two commuities with this name, an 'old and a 'new' Moses. "old" Moses was located near Corrumpa Creek, 18 mi NE of Clayton. This settlement was known in the days of the Santa Fe Trail. Upon the sale of the Espinosa ranch (Delfin Espinosa was the last owner of the old Moses store), a new store and post office was started at the curve in NM 18. The first postmaster was Frank Moses.
