Receipt to the jurado Juan de Cabra for moneys paid

AUTHOR/CREATOR
Pedro de Estopiñán y de Vera

CREATED/PUBLISHED
Jerez de la Frontera: June 14, 1530

NOTES
By this document Pedro de Estopinan y de Vera legally acknowledges that he is fully satisfied with the payment of 90,000 maravedis which the jurado Juan de Cabra paid him for a piece of pastureland along the Guadalete River within the jurisdiction of Jerez. He obligates himself not to take any future action for the sum. The document was drawn up in the plaza of San Dionys, Jerez, by the notary public Baltasar de Luena, in the presence of Juan de Fuentes, Francisco de Cuenca, and Hernando de Cuenca, vecinos of Jerez. The date July 14, 1530, which has been written at the bottom of the document in a later hand, is an erroneous reading. Pedro de Estopiñán may be Cabeza de Vaca's nephew of the same name who accompanied him to the Rio de la Plata in 1540.
