Hauptikon is a town of the political municipality of Kappel am Albis in the district of Affoltern in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland. The hamlet is located between the village of Rossau near Mettmenstetten, Uerzlikon and Kappel am Albis on the bus line to Affoltern am Albis and has a stop. Hauptikon once belonged to the monastery of Kappel as a court settlement. (Wikipedia)
Documents related to Margaretha Jlli:
NOTE: In your blog you write "Margaretha Glätler Jillian von Haǔptikon". This would be Glättlin (female for Glättli) - but was an error and crossed out - corrected with Jllin.
NOTE: At the time writers often, especially with the first letter of a word or name, didn't distinguish between J and I - similar to V and U (which we see much more often). The correct spelling today would be Illi.

gener (Latin) = son-in-law = husband of Anna (1666)
Kilchmejers Kleinhansen tochter - we had this before: Kirchmeier = church administrator, Kleinhans = Hans the younger.
Illi: the nearest places of citizenship (today) are Aesch bei Birmensdorf, Bonstetten and Stallikon - see this map (scroll down for Hauptikon). The other one (Nürensdorf) is far away (unlikely).
Note: According to Geneal-Forum the Illi of Aesch arrived around mid 17th century from Bonstetten.
Note: Hauptikon belongs to Kappel am Albis. Margaretha Illi married 1692 - there is no mention that she was a widow: quite possible that the was still listed with her parents in the Bevölkerungsverzeichnis before 1692: you may want to check the issues 1670 and 1678 whether Illi are mentioned in Kappel.
Translation 2: Margaretha Jlli, and Hans Rudolf Sidler, house frau, (at the end of line 1) text used at funeral:
After the scripture is the
word Trachten, meaning she was buried in the traditional Swiss clothing worn
for special occasions. The family paid extra for Pastor Hans Kaspar Huber to
read this scripture. In other words Margaretha wanted and received a special funeral.
She loved the Lord and her country. It must have been difficult for her to leave her two year old son and pass on to the next life.

2 Corinthians chapter 1 verses 3-5
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
