The regular actors were Lorne Greene as Ben, Pernell Roberts as Adam, Dan Blocker as Hoss and Michael Landon as Little Joe.
Dan Blocker, who played Hoss died from a blood clot after gall bladder surgery. Lorne Greene, who played Ben, died of pneumonia. Michael Landon, who played Little Joe, died of pancreatic cancer. Pernell Roberts, who played Adam, died of pancreatic cancer.
Three brothers, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe.
It was dangerous business to be a female interested in a Cartwright man. Ben (Pa) Cartwright had three wives which all died. Little Joe married once, she died. Hoss almost married, bad luck again. It was felt that a woman would have upset the male ambiance of the show so any female love interests were quickly killed off or sent away.
If you mean in the TV show Bonanza then there were originally three brothers. (Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe) In later seasons however, after Pernell Roberts quit the show, Ben adopts an orphan named Jamie, so there are technically four Cartwright brothers.
There is no accurate count but it seems that at one time or another, each Cartwright was wounded by gunfire. The men fared much better than the women that had the misfortune of loving a Cartwright man. Whether by disease or disaster, it was always fatal to love Ben, Adam, Hoss or Little Joe.
