Only Mette Jensdatter born 1744-1748 in Lemming is this one.
There is another Mette Jensdatter born 1743 but she would be too old for all of the Census records & the death record for our Mette.
There are records in Lemming back to 1716 but it will take some time to sort out Mette’s parents and siblings. There seems to be a Jens Pedersen/Knudsen? also a Jens Elling. Who’s who?
