Hi Laura! Yes, I think you may be right there. They all live on the same farm.
In the estate inventory (Kinnevalds häradsrätt FII:31 p 64) of Mattis Pålsson in 1879 (he died 1870-02-08 at Buskahult Tykegård in Urshult, Kronoberg county) there is a note of a debt to Eva Jönsdotter of 6 Cr 51 öre.
Mattis wife Eva Jakobsdotter died, however, not until 1870-05-07. If he is the father of Eva Jönsdotters daughters Ida Mathilda born 1868-08-19 and Lena born 1870-02-16 at Buskahult Tykegård there really must have been a scandal.
A note in the household examinations for Mattis is that he had been accused of attempt to murder for the second time in 1873. I have not been able to clear out why.
But to be sure you have to go to the district court, where cases of illegitimate children were handled.
