Yes, it is true what you say.
The reason I am trying to establish the marital status of Jöns in 1719 is because his wife is listed on the 1718 tax record and on the next available tax record in 1723 Jöns is not listed but there is a widow Margreta. I don't know if this was his wife or not but would be something further to pursue in my research.
Also, I have found inconsistencies with the name of the widow.
On the 1724 tax record the widow is called Märtha, who I originally thought might have been a different person altogether, but in subsequent years (from 1725-1729 which is the last record on which her name appears), she was again listed as Margreta, therefore I think it is all the same person.
At this point, I'm only able to document what I find in the tax records as there are no available birth/death/marriage or estate inventories available that early. It will hopefully be helpful information later at some point. :)
