Hi,
I stumbled across this page, looking for info on Isaac Fletcher.
My ancestry also goes back to this family, and I would be a descendant of John (born 1799).

I visited Ecclefechan a few years ago, 2009 I think, and found John Fletcher's gravestone in the churchyard there. I have the full inscription at home and will post it tonight.

I also visited Castledouglas cemetery, which is huge in comparison, but couldn't find any obvious connections.
There is, apparently, another graveyard in Hoddom (should be Kelton I think?) which I didn't know about at the time. This would most likely be a better place to find some links.

Brian
