The mortality rate for infants and young children was high for all the islands. If you start going through the Obitos you will see many infants and young children (just the first name is used) as compared to adults. If you were to ask me I would say that greater than 80% were children in the first half of the 19th century.

Even in the wealthy. Thomas Jefferson, for example, and his wife had 6 children in 10 years. Only 2 survived more than 6 years.

It just aches my heart when looking through Obits and seeing so many for your children (birth to 10 years old). I've been trying to Google it but having a hard time finding out why ...
