Thank you Leif, Per, and Anti Poika.
I'm pretty sure this is the right family.
My records indicate that Jon Halstensson's first name is Jan, but the household record does indicate his first name is spelled Jon.
There is a birth record of Jon, son of Jan Halstensson and Ingiard Ericksdotter born 15 Dec 1707 at the Mellmark farm.
Fryksände (S) CI:1 (1707-1732) Image 11 / Page 13 (AID: v6469.b11.s13 (http://www.arkivdigital.se/aid/show/v6469.b11.s13), NAD: SE/VA/13131 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis+{f2c44cfa-0a52-4742-b94b-e4d623db366a}&s=Balder))
There is also a record of Halsten, son of Jon Halstensson and Ingia? Ericsdotter born 9 Aug 1711 at Mellmark farm.

Both would be of marrying age during the time of the household record 1730 to 1738.
Jöns may also be a son born earlier than 1707, but the Fryksände records start in 1707, so there wouldn't be a record of his birth if this is true.
There were 4 other children in this marriage:
Marit f. 1714
Oluf f. 1717
Britta f. 1720
Erick f. 1723
but none of them are listed on the household record (1730-1738).
I can't find this family in earlier household records which is puzzling.
All of the birth records show they were born in Mellmark, so I think they would have been permanent residents.
Is it possible the parish priest could have missed this family annually? Later household records show Halsten's last name as Hämälainen.
I think this indicates that Jan or Jon Halstensson was Finnish. Would the name Jan be more common among Finnish families?
Thank you all for your help.
