Moses Fletcher died the first winter, his children staying in Leyden, Holland. None of his children came to America, so Moses Fletcher's descendants are Dutch, and live in the Netherlands. For more detailed information on the known descendants of Moses Fletcher, see the Mayflower Quarterly, Vol. 41. His descendants do not carry the Fletcher surname, because in Holland children's surnames were derived from their father's first name.
