Summary of findings
It would appear that there are no known direct patrilineal descendants of Degory Priest and his wife Sarah Allerton, since their two known children (Mary and Sarah) were both female.
Still, there remains the opportunity for characterizing his Y-DNA through descendants of other paternal relatives. Even so, such a link would likely be tenuous since it would seem that the identity of Degory Priest's relatives in England carries some uncertainty.
Biography
Recent research[1] identified Degory Priest as an "obstinate Brownist" who was arrested in London in 1609. He soon moved to Leiden where he married the widow Sarah ALLERTON Vincent on 4 Nov 1611. Degory came alone on the Mayflower and died the first winter. His widow married Godbert Godbertson and they moved to Plymouth Colony (with her two daughters by Degory) in 1623 (aboard the Anne"").
To do
- Additional paper-trail research might allow additional Y-DNA testing candidates to be identified
