Poor health.
You basically said it in your question. The ground was swampy so the water was bad, there were mosquitoes, and disease.
The swampy location of Jamestown led to unsanitary conditions and a high risk of waterborne diseases such as dysentery and malaria. The wet environment also attracted mosquitoes, which further spread these diseases among the colonists. Additionally, the swampy ground made it difficult to grow crops and obtain clean drinking water, leading to food shortages and malnutrition.
The colony Jamestown struggled at first because of three main reasons, the location, leadership, and charter. The location was a very big problem. Many colonist died offfrom disease caused by misquotes Jamestown was located on a swamp, thus the misquotes. The colonist were fighting with the natives and there was a scarce amount of food. Leadership was a problem because Captian John Smith left the colony and went back to England After he left there were 13 men in control. that got way out of hand. With no woman around the house cleaning got to be a problem and no one could establish order. And again the colonist were fighting with the natives. One of the reasons why there wasn't enough food was because the Virginia Co. didn't know how much food actually got there. Some got spoiled in the ship ride there, some got eaten by the crew arriving to Jamestown and what was left didn't supply for the amount it was meant for. Even though Jamestown had a lot of hardships through history they survived the worst.
