The notes in front of each farm/village says which kind of tax they are paying - to the military, to the state or to the church. Some farms pay to the Infantry, some to the Cavalry and in some cases it even states the name of the officer who collects tax (and/or soldier from that farm). In front of Slättewrå it says Past:s stomb, which means it is the priest's farm from which he collects tax or other goods as part of his living.

No Joen is there 1689 - the Jöns you see is a farmhand (not married) although he (and/or Lars) are now bell ringer(s).

You can never from year to year in a tax book assume that a "Joen and wife" are the same couple although it seems likely - unless you have other facts to confirm that - in a will, inventory, note in a court book etc. It can give you clues only.
