We are told that Enoch lived another 300 years walking faithfully with God and had other children during that 300 year period after the birth of Methuselah. The Scriptures seem to clearly explain that all flesh upon the earth died except for those 8 who boarded with Noah.

But let me be quick to point out that this is only conjecture. All we know for a fact is that Methusaleh died in the year that the flood covered the earth.
