Are you a descendant of Mayflower passenger Degory Priest?
If you are, then please tell us your line.
According to Wikipedia, Degory Priest:
was a hat maker from London who married Sarah, sister of Pilgrim Isaac Allerton in Leiden. He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact in November 1620 and died less than two months later.

Searching in GenealogyBank’s Historical Newspaper Archives, I can easily find hundreds of articles about descendants of other Mayflower Pilgrims such as Thomas Rogers, Stephen Hopkins or Dr. Samuel Fuller – but, articles about Degory Priest descendants – not so much.
I only found six persons who mentioned their descent from him in their obituaries, such as this one for Patricia Sayward.
Patricia A. (Woodward) Sayward’s (1929-2009) obituary tells us that “she was a descendant of Degory Priest” and that she had two ancestors who fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. She was active in both the Mayflower Society and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Here are the other five individuals I found whose obituaries mentioned that they were descendants of Degory Priest:
- Elizabeth F. (Souther) Dunn (1910-2007)
- Cohasset Mariner (Cohasset, Massachusetts), 16 February 2007
If you are a descendant of Degory Priest – or any other Mayflower passenger – please tell us about it in the comments section.

Mr. Kemp,
I knew a deceased member of our Pasco County Genealogy Society who was an descendant of Degory Priest from his daughter Mary (Mariah) who married Phineas Pratt. She left our society 5 notebooks of names of her ancestors. Because of your article, I checked it out and have traced her family back to when James Litchfield married Hannah Pratt on May 15, 1760 in Hingham. This set of books were her notecards, organized into families, has no sources, just names and dates. I am sure she had sources, but we do not have them. Her name was Charlotte Tower Litchfield, 1926 – 2004 and she always told us about her Degory Priest. If you would like more information or to see them, please email me.
This is good news Virginia. Thank you for letting us know that Charlotte Tower Litchfield’s (1926 – 2004) genealogical notes and papers have been preserved at the Pasco County Genealogical Society’s research collections. See: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~flpcgs/
Knowing that she was a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrim Degory Priest – will let her many ‘cousins’ use her papers as a road map to retrace, document and confirm her conclusions.
Thank you for letting us know about this important resource.
My deceased wife was a direct descendant of Degory Priest. Her name was Frances Vivian Priest.
Charlotte Tower Litchfield was a descendant. If you want more information from Pasco County Genealogical Society who hold her papers, please email me.
There are a large number of families in England who are direct descendants of Jean de Lanoy, kinsman of Philippe de Lanoy who became Recorder of New York in 1685 (I believe) and led to your great president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I have been tracing my own branch of this family, here in England since 1605. The records of the Huguenots here in England are very complete and I am surprised that many of your members do not know of the work that has been done here. So much more research yet to do!
Thanks for alerting us Myma.
Are you putting your research online?
Please tell us where your research is online so we can learn more about our UK cousins.
Thanks again.

Hi! I decided to revisit my Degory Priest lineage (9th great grandfather) and found your page. I have many blogs on my ancestry research, and you can find my Priest lineage here: http://mayflowerline.blogspot.com/p/httpen.html. You can also download the Degory Descendant badge I created.
This line, through Phineas Pratt, made us cousins of Abraham Lincoln.
Phineas is my 7th great grand father and Degory is my 8th great grandfather. I didn’t realize there was a relation to Abe Lincoln
Good work cousin Michelle.
Looking at Phineas Pratt – I have his line down to your Myrtle Shockey that married Samuel Jackson Null (1881-1962). Thanks for the information – I’ll work on extending that line and adding the additional descendants to the tree.
Thank you for responding to this post.

Good to hear from you cousin – small world, and getting smaller.
Tom
This may be helpful for those looking into the Pratt-Lincoln connection: https://archive.org/stream/historyoflincoln00illinc/historyoflincoln00illinc_djvu.txt
Very helpful.
Thank you for posting this Janet.

My 14 GGrandfather was Degory Priest through his daughter Sarah.
Hello. Thank you for organizing something for Degory. I wish we had something like the Brewster Society.
I am a descendant of both Brewster and Priest. My line is as follows:
Priest,
Mary Priest -Phineas Pratt
Mary Pratt – John Swan I
John Swan II – Sarah Thompson
John Swan III-Jean Parke
Isaac Swan – Elizabeth Wedge
Levi Swan and ?
David Swan-Rhoda Blakesly
Matthew Swan – Susannah Judd
Nathan Swan – Mary Cannon
Orin Alanson Swan – Sarah Ma Minnich
Edwin Samuel Swan – Bessie Mae Hertz (the Brewster connection)
Franklin Eugene Swan – Charlotte May Searle
Cynthia Diane Martin – William Paul Martin
The Swan name has held through quite a few generations, always down the male line. My siblings all have grandchildren, I do not, so it ends with my children at this point in my immediate family.
I found Degory’s signature on the Mayflower Compact and he “misspelled” both of his names. I forgot what he did with Degory, (maybe it’s Digory) but he signed his last name as Preist. Such things were common then, I guess, but his stands out as unusual in that regard.
I look forward to meeting any more Swan family line that comments here. Nice to meet you all, cousins!
Hi Cousin – good to hear from you.
A good way to extend your Swan family branches is to actively research your Swan relatives in GenealogyBank. Pull each one – document them and add each one to an online family tree.
I see that your Edwin Samuel Swan is already on FamilySearch – along with other family members. By adding the details you find in GenealogyBank – and organizing your information online – you will be able to reach out to the current generation of the family.
Get started and let us know what you find out.
Tom
I am Henry Cushman Copeland (b. 1953), great grandson of Henry Whiting Cushman … descended from Thomas Cushman and Mayflower passenger Mary (Allerton) Cushman. If my analysis is correct, Degory Priest is also an ancestor, as follows:
Degory Priest and Sarah Allerton had a daughter, Sarah Priest, who married John Coombs and with whom they produced John Coombs, II. John Coombs, II and his wife Elizabeth Royall had daughter Mary Coombs, who married Benjamin Eaton (descended from Francis Eaton). Their daughter, Sarah Eaton, married Benjamin Cushman and had a son, Thomas Cushman (b. 1730 d. 1777).
As noted at the outset, I am descended from the Cushmans, including, in particular, the foregoing Thomas, via Thomas’s son Job, Job’s son Nathaniel, Nathaniel’s son Benjamin, Benjamin’s son Albert, Albert’s son Henry Whiting Cushman, Henry’s daughter Annah Cushman Philippi Copeland, and her son, my father, John Frederick Philippi Copeland.
Good to hear from you cousin.
Have you searched for news, obituary and similar articles about your ancestors in GenealogyBank?
Do you put your family history information – with photos and details – online? If so, where do you keep your family online family tree? On one or multiple sites?
Good to hear from you.
Tom
I believe I descend from Degory Priest, but am still trying to verify everything.
Degory Priest
Mary Priest – Phineas Pratt
Aaron Pratt – Sarah Pratt
Henry Pratt – Hannah Wilson
Ebenezer Pratt – Charity Besse
Simon Pratt Jr – Martha Pratt
Experience Pratt – Elisha Henson
George Washington Henson – Samantha Dickinson
Barnabas Henson – Cora Parsons
Delbert Anthony Henson – Arra Nichols
Delbert LaVerne Henson – Leona Simons
and Me
Good work Kim.
Are you putting your family line – along with the documentation/sources on one of the online family tree sites?
Using one of the online family tree sites: like FamilySearch.org (free site) – makes it easy to add your documentation to each person – so you can verify that each generation is correct.
Look for each individual in GenealogyBank – to get the stories, details of their lives.
Online family trees are another good place to preserve your old family photos.
All the best with your research,
Tom
Kim,
Have you submitted your lineage to Mayflower Society?
Working on a line through George Washington Henson. Weak point is proving Experience to Simon Pratt, which is why I asked about the Baptism records.
Just starting to work on this line, not verified.

Their son Franklin is/was my great-great grandfather. I’m not comfortable posting the rest of the tree here for privacy reasons, but I’m happy to answer any questions privately. I’ve also done both the ancestry.com and 23andme DNA tests, if that helps.
Thank you for posting this information cousin!
I hope that you are also adding each generation along with the supporting details down to your great-great grandfather Franklin Nimblett – to one of the online family tree sites – like FamilySearch.org so that it is preserved online and easily findable by generations for years to come.
This is a terrific – and takes us a long way to making our extended family tree as complete and accurate as possible.
Thank you again for taking the time to write us,
Tom

I am doing Mayflower research, and am descended from Degory Priest. I found something of interest online on pages 446 and 447 of the book SAINTS AND STRANGERS: LIVES OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. It says Degory’s wife Sarah Allerton Vincent Priest had remarried to Godbert Godbertson. It says “Married (to Degory) Leyden, 1621: 5 (FIVE) children; by her husband’s two and her own three marriages. Last husband Godbert Godbertson and first husband John Vincent did not have children prior to marrying her. That leaves Degory Priest who was 32 years old when he married Sarah. What are the odds he hadn’t been married before? Long disputed are the sons: James and John Priest. Could they be the 2 children mentioned in this book? All that came to America with Sarah and Godbert were Mary and Sarah Priest and the boy, Samuel, that she had with Godbert. If Godbert had children with his first wife he would never have left them in Holland. I suspect James and John Priest were sent back to England to be with Degory’s family. Could I be wrong? Sure. But it’s an interesting clue, don’t you think? Thanks for listening. Susan Godden
Degory Priest would have been my 8th great grandfather. The line is Sarah (Whitcher) Vickery, Wendell Jennison Whitcher (1909-1979), Ernest Linwood Whitcher (1868-1957), Finette Nelson Roberts, Charlotte Rhodes, Martha (Pratt) Rhodes, John Pratt, John Pratt, Aaron Pratt, Mary (Priest) Pratt, Degory Priest. Martha (Pratt) Rhodes was named in will of “John Pratt of Thompson dated 17 November 1803 and proved 2 April 1811 as Martha, wife of Oliver Rhodes”
The John Pratt, father of Martha, is named in American Ancestor’s Mayflower Families Fifth Generation Descendants, 1700-1880; it is his will that named Martha Pratt, wife of Oliver Rhodes, as his daughter.
