Felipe de la Serna's wife was Isabel Luján, apparently the daughter of Juan Ramos and Mariana Luján. Some of their children were: Cristóbal, Gregoria, wife of Lazaro Duran, Antonia, wife of Matías Madrid, and perhaps a María, wife of Nicolás Garcia.

Felipe de la Serna and his wife Isabel Luján evidently returned with the Reconquest, since they are not mentioned as deceased in the marriages of two children in 1694 and 1698. Their known children were: Cristóbal, Gregoria, Antonia, and, perhaps, María, wife of Captain Nicolás García residing at Guadalupe del Paso in 1705. Antonia was married to Matías Madrid, and both were marriage sponsors for Gregoria when she married Lázaro Durán in 1698.
