Moses Fletcher
Moses Fletcher (c.1564-1620/1). In Pilgrim records written by William Bradford his name is given as “Moyses Fletcher.” He came to America on the historic 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship ''Mayflower''. He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact and perished shortly thereafter in the Pilgrims first winter in the New World.〔Caleb H. Johnson, ''The Mayflower and Her Passengers'' (Indiana: Xlibris Corp., copyright 2006 Caleb Johnson), p. 142.〕〔Eugene Aubrey Stratton, ''Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691,'' (Salt Lake City: Ancestry Publishing, 1986), pp. 291, 406, 409〕
== Life in England ==
Moses was born about 1564 in County Kent, England, probably in the Sandwich area. He seems to have lived much of his early life there, having married Mary Evans in 1589 and where all ten of his children were baptized. Per Banks, he was a smith by occupation with the parish register of St. Peter’s, Sandwich providing information on his children’s baptisms.〔〔Eugene Aubrey Stratton, ''Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691,'' (Salt Lake City: Ancestry Publishing, 1986), pp. 291-292〕〔Charles Edward Banks, ''The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers'' (New York: Grafton Press, 1929), p. 54〕
Although being a sexton of St. Peter’s, Sandwich between 1604 and 1609, Fletcher found himself excommunicated by the church three times since by the early 1600s, he appears to have become involved in the Separatist movement. In 1609 he first found himself having a problem with church authorities when, on April 24 or 25, he was at the burial of a child of Andrew Sharpe which was considered an illegal burial as it was accomplished outside Church of England control. As recorded in church records, Fletcher and others were “calling into question the lawlessness of the king’s constitutions in this and other behalfs, affirming these things(s) to be popishly ceremonious and of no other force.” The Separatists considered Anglican burial ceremonies “popish” and that they sponsored idola〔 On June 12, 1609, Moses Fletcher, along with the wife of future fellow Mayflower passenger James Chilton and several other persons were excommunicated from the Anglican church for the supposedly illegal burial.〔〔( A genealogical profile of Moses Fletcher )〕
On November 6, 1609, Moses Fletcher was excommunicated again for burying his own daughter Judith, according to church records, was “in the sermon time very disorderly and unseemly.” His final excommunication from the church was proclaimed to churchgoers on February 11, 1610.〔
