How many people did Edgar Allan Poe lose to tuberculosis


How many people did Edgar Allan Poe lose to tuberculosis?
I need to know for a paper I am writing for my literature class. I know he lost both his mother and his wife/cousin died from it among a few other people, but just how many people did he lose to the disease?
