Båtsman. Jacob Jånsson Duan (Duhan) may have been killed by his wife in 1744-1745.
The minister wrote in the husförhörslängder "ab uxore sua trucidatus" or "murdered by his wife".

There is also a note in the military records that I cannot figure out.

I see "Ihjälslagen ... hustru ... roter vacant" or "killed ... wife ... rote vacant".
Can anyone fill in the other words?

Jacob Janss(on) Duan was
Ihiälslagen af thes
hustru förledet
åhr, Roten vacant
"Killed by his wife last year, the position un-filled". "Ihjälslagen" can also be used in the more narrow meaning "beaten to death", but for what actually happened you'll have to read the court transcripts.
Since both he and his wife Lisken were present in Vårdinge 1744-11-30 (from the husförhörslängd) but he was dead by 1745-02-08 (when the muster roll was signed), the murder would have been in december 1744.

Thank you, Staffan!
I could not see the word as "förledet".
I hope someday to see the court transcripts, as I am very curious. Jacob is not my ancestor, but he was part of sorting out the Båtsmän named Johan Duhan in this rote.
