It does name her mother as Maria da Estrella they use the word sui juris (I think it means she was under age) and then names two men Jose de Arruda and Antonio Paxeca (Pacheco). I think she had relations with both and was unsure who the father was so it names both. The marriage does name Manuel Moniz da Costa a medidor (I think medidor is like a guardian or judge) husband of Maria Pacheca. The marriage also names her mother Maria da Estrella sui juris Perhaps one of our native speaker can get a better read of what was going on.
