Alonso Vos was present at the 1540 muster as an armed footman. He gave his name as Alonso Vos de Ribadeo, suggesting that he was a native of Ribadeo (Lugo province). If correct, then Alonso was a native of land controlled by the Mendoza family, a fact not lost on Viceroy Mendoza when selecting expeditionaries.
