Sanitation (or lack thereof) could be a cause. I was researching a
non-Portuguese line in Kentucky in the 1850s. And they had death records!
First the 2 or 3 year old dies. Two weeks later, mom dies and the 8 year
old
I would agree with what others have suggested in that some sort of illness was
going around. Remember this is the time before immunizations and drugs which we
have today. So when we get something today it is no big deal. I have come
across many records where several members of the same family

I’m looking at deaths for another island. And indeed there are times when

Could be a contagious illness as well.
