Does anyone have any information about any epidemics, plagues, etc around the 1820's. My 6th ggf died 1821 and unconfirmed information that his two youngest sons in 1824 and 1827. In 1832 my 6th ggm wrote about cholera near Washington and she died in 1834. I just found it odd that he died young (relatively speaking) and his two boys died very young all within 6 years. Janean

When I was sponsoring the Rappahannock Co., VA USGenWeb page, i had a page with national epidemics: http://www26.brinkster.com/varappah/Rappahannock/sick.htm Good luck.
