In the early years of the Jamestown settlement, it is estimated that around 70% of the settlers died due to starvation, malnutrition, and disease, with food shortages being a significant factor. Of the original 104 settlers who arrived in 1607, only about 38 survived by the winter of 1609-1610, known as the "Starving Time." This suggests that roughly 7 out of 10 settlers died as a result of the dire food conditions.
