Immigrated to Plymouth on the ship "Anne" in 1623
Wife of John Vincent, "Mayflower" passenger Degory Priest and Godbert Godbertson.
Mother of Mary and Sarah Priest Coombs.
Degory Priest came alone on the Mayflower, planning to bring wife and children later after the colony was better established. His death the first winter ended those plans. His wife remarried to Godbert Godbertson in Leiden, and they had a son Samuel together. Godbert, his wife Sarah, their son Samuel, and his step-children Mary and Sarah Priest all came on the ship "Anne" to Plymouth in 1623.
Exact burial location is unknown.

Wife of John Vincent, "Mayflower" passenger Degory Priest, and Godbert Godbertson.
Mother of Mary and Sarah Priest Coombs.
Degory Priest came alone on the Mayflower, planning to bring wife and children later after the colony was better established. His death the first winter ended those plans.
After Priest’s death, his wife Sarah married another hat-maker, Godbert Godbertson (or Cuthbert Cuthbertson), on November 13, 1621 with whom she had one son, Samuel, born possibly about 1622.
Godbertson was said by Edward Winslow to be an English speaker of the Dutch Church and a member of the Separatist Church in Leiden.
They came, with their son Samuel Cuthbertson (later shortened to Cuthbert) and her daughters Mary and Sarah Priest, to Plymouth, on the ship Anne, in 1623.
They were assigned land in the 1623 Division of Land with 6 "akers" for "Cudbart Cudbartsone" – one acre for the deceased Priest and one each for his wife Sarah, her second husband Godbert Godbertson and their three children.
Both Godbertson and his wife Sarah died in the epidemic of 1633 sometime in that fall, with their estate inventories being taken on October 24, 1633.

FTM CD113, Allerton, pg 17: ... Sarah Priest, sister of Isaac Allerton, who was married first in London to John Vincent. She married second in Leyden, at the same time of her brother's marriage [11-4-1611], Degory Priest (Hatter from London). He died in Plymouth, Mass., 1 January 1621. His widow, who had remained behind, married third at Leyden, Godbert Godbertson [Cuthbert Cuthbertson in America], who came to Plymouth with his wife, in the Ann, 1623, and both died in 1633. FTM CD113, Savage's Gen. Dict. of Early Settlers: pg 1194: PRIEST, DEGORY, Plymouth 1620, d. in few days aft. land. from the Mayflower, on 1 Jan. 1621; and his w. wh. was, says Gov. Bradford, sis. of Mr. Allerton, and their childr. came after. He was formerly thot. the first m. of any of the Leyden exiles, but the rec. there shows that his intent was pub. 4 Oct. 1611, and the m. with Sarah Vincent, wid. of John of London, 4 Nov. foll. and we kn. that both Isaac Allerton and his sis. had a few wks. earlier been m. I obs. on the Dutch rec. that aft. hear. of the d. of Priest so early at P. his wid. m. 13 Nov. of that same yr. one, wh. was, in my opin. the Cuthbert Cuthbertson, wh. brot. her and the ch. in the Ann. He had been adm. a cit. of Leyden 16 Nov. 1615, then call. a hatter, no other of his friends exc. Bradford and Allerton hav. enjoy. that distinct. pg 1303: Cuthbertson, Cuthbert, Plymouth, came in the Ann, 1623, and in the div. of land, next season, was counted for six heads, if the rec. be right, yet at div. of cattle, 1627, he, and w. Sarah, whom I presume, had been widow of Digory Priest (that d. at Plymouth 1 Jan 1621), and m. Nov Following at Leyden. ... He was a Dutchman, united with the fathers of Leyden, and Winslow gives his name, as, perhaps, in earlier life, the man wrote it, Godbert Godbertson. He d. bef. 23 Oct. 1633, the date of inventory of estates fro both himself and wife, so that she was probably dead a short time before.
