You state that there was an epidemic in ...Hi, Jim, <br />You state that there was an epidemic in New Bedford/Dartmouth, Mass., in 1727. I see that three or more adults in the Eliezer Slocum family of Dartmouth died within a few months of one another. At least two young adults died in the winter, which might indicate a pulmonary condition like influenza or pneumonia. One made his will in March and died in late June or early July. Do you have any evidence for what the epidemic might have been? If you don't, do you have a suggestion for where I might continue my search? <br />Thanks for your help.<br />ChristyChristy K Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988458745832012138noreply@blogger.com
