These details would need to be confirmed with other records, of course, but this is my understanding of the document in a quick summary.

Thank you! This gives some insight into Ingeborg's character. I knew about her first 5 children but am happy to learn there were 4 more. I will look for their records. Am grateful to have her death date confirmed too!

Another possibility is it's a place name Wall (short for Walla or Wallsjön) before Mats Olofsson the the beginning. They had a tradition in Dalarna to put the name of a farm in front of a farmers name. He was residing in Sälen but maybe it referred to where he farmed? It could be Walloon. Either way it needs other records to understand it. After 5 children 2 sons and 3 daughters it reads 2ne döttrar lefva meaning 2 of the three daughters were still living at the time. I think Mats Olsson is of Sälen.
