Record
Méndez–Abreu annuity deed at Ribadavia, 1571
Arquivo da Deputación de Pontevedra, Familia Malvar / Palacete de Salcedo, sig. 12.930/2
A redeemable annuity sold at Ribadavia on 3 December 1571 before Juan de Balcázar. Family relationships are read from the supplied working translation; the original scan is linked, without claiming a complete palaeographic audit. The deed names Francisco’s parents, his wife Francisca de Abreu, and his sister and ward Margarida; it does not name Margarida’s mother. The buyer’s Baamonde household is a separate transaction party. Identification with the court-case Méndez family remains unverified.
