Individual Notes
• A Leiden Separatist from Sandwich, Kent, and a 1620 Mayflower passenger, Moses Fletcher died shortly after arrival at Plymouth. Robert S. Wakefield, “The Search for Descendants of Moses Fletcher,” NEHGR 128:161, gives evidence that he married (1) Mary Evans and left ten children, thirteen grandchildren, and twenty great-grandchildren in Holland, and (2) married Sarah Danby. Mr. Wakefield concludes that it would be reasonable to suppose descendants of Fletcher are living today in the Netherlands or elsewhere. Dr Jeremy D. Bangs, former curator of the Leiden Pilgrim Documents Center, believes he has evidence of such descendants living today. Though an application from a claimed descendant is pending with the Mayflower Society, the society has not yet recognized the claim. None of Fletcher’s family is known to have come to colonial New England.3362, pp. 292-3
