His two sons by his wife Zipporah were Gershom and Eliezer (Ex 2.22, 18.3).

After Moses had reached adulthood, he went to see how his brethren who were enslaved to the Egyptians were faring. Seeing an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, he killed the Egyptian and enshrouded his body in the sand, supposing that no one would be disposed to reveal the matter knew of it. The next day, seeing two Hebrews quarreling, he endeavored to separate them, whereupon the Hebrew who was wronging the other taunted Moses for slaying the Egyptian. Moses soon discovered from a higher source that the affair was known, and that Pharaoh was likely to put him to death for it; he therefore made his escape over the Sinai peninsula and settled with Hobab, or Jethro, priest of Midian (a region just East of the gulf of Aqaba), whose daughter Zipporah he in due time married. There he sojourned forty years, following the occupation of a shepherd, during which time his son Gershom was born.

Great question. From Exodus 4:20 we know Moses had sons, but I don't think there is any bible record of who they are or what they did. You might expect one of the sons to be his successor, but instead it was Joshua, son of a fellow named Nun.
