                   DEGORY PRIEST MARRIED SARAH ALLERTON WHO WAS THE WIDOW OF JOHN VINCENT. THE MARRIAGE TOOK PLACE IN HOLLAND AND AT THE SAME TIME THAT ISAAC ALLERTON WAS MARRIED. THE MARRIAGES WHICH TOOK PLACE ON 4 NOVEMBER 1611 AND PERFORMED BEFORE THE SAME OFFICIALS SERVED TO STRENGTHEN THE FACT THAT THE WIDOW VINCENT WAS INDEED A SISTER OF ISAAC ALLERTON. THE FOLLOWING TRANSLATIONS APPEAR IN THE MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, VOLUME 7, P 130.

DEGORY PRIEST UNMARRIED MAN, FROM LONDON IN ENGLAND, ACCOMPANIED BY WILLIAM LISLE AND SAMUEL FULLER, HIS ACQUAINTANCES, WITH SARAH VINCENT ALSO, FROM LONDON, IN ENGLAND, WIDOW OF JOHN VINCENT, ACCOMPANIED BY JANE THICKINS AND ROSEMOND JEPSON, HER ACQUAINTANCES.

BRADFORD'S LIST OF MAYFLOWER PASSENGERS STARTS: "MOSES FLETCHER, THOMAS WILLIAMS, DIGERIE PRIEST, JOHN GOODMAN, EDWARD MARGERSON, RICHARD BRITTERIGE, RICHARD CLARKE.  ALL THESE DYED SOON AFTER THEIR ARRIVAL, IN THE GENERAL SICKNESS THATBEFELL. BUT DIGERIE PRIEST HAD HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN SENT HITHER AFTERWARDS SHE BEING MR ALLERTON'S SISTER. BUT THE REST LEFT NO POSTERITE HERE."

THE CONFUSION ON THIS LINE HAS COME ABOUT BECAUSE SARAH ALLERTON VINCENT PRIEST REMARRIED AGAIN AS THE WIDOW OF DEGORY PRIEST TO GODBERT GODBERTSON. DEGORY PRIEST DIED AT PLYMOUTH ON 1 JAN 1621. HIS WIDOW SARAH PRIEST , REMARRIED IN LEYDON ON 13 NOV. 1621. THE GODBERTSONS AND THE TWO STEPDAUGHTERS ARRIVED ON THE "ANNE" IN 1623.
