Hi Vicki!
Of what I understand the first one is the traditional taxation list while the second is a little different. We can see in the first document that Håkan is just in possession of half of Gashult while the second part is öde/waste. In the second document we can se that many farms are either waste or the farmers are dead. So is the case with Nils Månsson (I guess a brother of Håkan Månsson?) who is noted as dead there. This was after the peace treaty in Brömsebro 1645 and during that war 1643-1645 (called Torstensons war after the Swedish Field Marshal who attacked Denmark from the South and ocupied Juteland) the Danes went into Sweden from Halland, which was then a part of Denmark, and attacked the civilians who lived close to the border. Many farmers got their livestock stolen or killed and farms burned down. During the wars the areas close to the borders could suffer a lot while they could benefit from the trade during the friendly years.
