It is thought that Degory Priest may be the "Digorius Prust" baptized in Hartland, Devonshire, England on 11 August 1582, the son of Peter Prust. (New England Historic and Genealogical Register, 111:320). In April 1619 in Leyden, Degory Priest stated in a record that he was 40 years old, making him born about 1579.
Very little is known about Degory Priest. Since he was married in Holland in 1611, it is clear that he was a religious Separatist very early on, and was an early member of the Pilgrims' Leyden congregation. He came to America on the Mayflower, leaving behind his wife and two daughters. Degory Priest died the first winter. His widow remarried to Godbert Godbertson (sometimes Cuthburt Cuthbertson), and they all came to America on the ship Anne in 1623.
