Mentz Christofferson cum uxore (med kone) går til alters fleire gongar frem til Ments dør i 1721. Navnet på kona er ikkje nemnt.
Frå 1721 og utover, går Elen Hendriksdatter frå Forfjord til alters, og er mest sannsynleg enka etter Ments.
Eldste sonen til Ments og kona heiter Henrik, og namnet Elen vert også nytta på barnebarn.

Andøy bygdebok bind III Gård og slekt del II:

Gnr. 15 Forfjorden, Sørjorda

Ments Kristoffersen og kona kom til Forfjorden midt på 1680-tallet, og i hvert fall Ments var innflytter. Det sjeldne fornavnet tyder på at han var født i Møre og Romsdal, trolig på Nordmøre. Navnet på kona hans nevnes aldri i kildene, men kanskje var farsnavnet hennes Henriksdatr. Eldste sønnen blei nemlig kalt Henrik.

Vått, kaldt og stormfullt klima gjorde årene før 1700 til en av de verste periodene vi kjenner etter 1600. Avlinger svikta på land, fiskerne fant bare svart hav, og nøda herja. Ments og kona klarte seg imidlertid svært godt gjennom denne redselstida. Skatten deres steig, og det ser ut til at de berga livet til de fleste av ungene.

Etter 1700 letna levevilkårene, og paret på Sørjorda klatra enda litt til på skattelistene. De hadde minst seks barn, og vi veit at minst fire av dem gifta seg. Etterslekta til Ments og kona hans er svært stor. De hadde nærmere to tusen tipptipptipp-oldebarn bare i Andøy på første halvdel av 1800-tallet, og navnet Ments blei enda kalt opp på den tida. Trolig kan over halvparten av dagens "innfødte" andværinger føre slekta si bakover til paret på Sørjorda. Og etterkommere bor fortsatt i Forfjorden.

En av sønnene, Kristoffer, fikk en spesiell skjebne. I 1711 blei han innkalt i marinen, og kom på skipet til Tordenskjold i Den store nordiske krigen. Der blei han sjuk og døde samme året.

Ments døde antakelig i 1723. Enka nevnes ikke etterpå, det skyldes antakelig at en av sønnene allerede hadde stifta familie, og overtok bygselen med det samme.
