Person
Justa Rodríguez
Named in the 1578 settlement and 1579 receipt; explicitly Enrique Fernández's sister. Identification with Portuguese records is tested rather than assumed.
Person
Enrique Fernández
Merchant resident in Vigo and explicitly Justa's brother in the Spanish instruments; promises the dowry and is the recorded payer in 1579.
Person
Isabel Méndez
Called Felipe's wife in the 1585 receipt and Francisco's deceased mother in his 1641 claim recital. Her dowry is distinct from Justa's.
Person
Francisco Méndez
Resident of Ribadavia assigning a disputed dowry-related claim in 1641. The assignment does not establish successful collection.

Named defendant of Mesão Frio in Coimbra process 3682. The opening prosecution allegations prove no relationship to Felipe Álvarez.

Branca Rodrigues
Defendant in Lisbon process 4760, identified as Marcos Rodrigues's wife and associated with Lamego. Proposed identity as Justa's mother remains unproved.

Holder with a bounded property entry in Macendo Libro 202, scans 352–355. No wider family connection is asserted.
