== Biography ==Sarah Priest was born about 1615, at Leyden, Holland. She was the younger daughter of [[Priest-39|Degory Priest]] and [[Allerton-21|Sarah (Allerton) (Vincent) Priest]].[Note using the 2008 Mayflower Society date 1615, rather than Anderson's 1614 date. Both are estimates.][Anderson, Robert Charles, [http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/great-migration-begins-immigrants-to-ne-1620-1633-vols-i-iii/image/?volumeId=12107&pageName=1526&rId=235192004 Degory Priest: Featured Name.] ''The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III.''

Mayflower Families Through Five Generations. Volume Eight Second edition. Family of Degory Priest. Originally compiled by Mrs. Charles Delmar Townsend; Robert S. Wakefield, FASG; Margaret Harris Stover. (General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 2008) ]
Her father Degory Priest had come to New England on the ''Mayflower'' but died shortly thereafter. [Bradford, William. ''Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation''' From the Original Manuscript.

=== Immigration ===Sarah was a passenger on the ''Anne'' that arrived at Plymouth Colony in New England in 1623. She and her sister Mary Priest emigrated from Leyden/Leiden with their mother Sarah (Allerton)(Vincent)(Priest) Godbertson and step father Godbert Godbertson, and their son Samuel. [http://mayflowerhistory.com/anne] [ Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild, Vol. II, Passengers on the Anne and Little James, 1623 https://www.immigrantships.net/v2/1600v2/anne_james16230710.html ]
=== Timeline ===* 1623: Her stepfather 'Cudbart Cudbartstone' (''sic'') as passenger on the ''Anne'' received six acres in the Plymouth division. This land grant was given to Godbert, his wife Sarah, their son Samuel, and to Sarah's deceased husband Degory Priest and her two daughters, Sarah and Mary Priest. [Anderson, Robert C. Godbert Godbertson in: Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to N.E. 1620-1633, Vols. I-III p. 777 (Originally Published as: New England Historic Genealogical Society. Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III, 3 vols., 1995). ][Shurtleff, Nathaniel Bradstreet; Pulsifer, David New Plymouth Colony; ''[[Space:Records of the colony of New Plymouth, in New England|Records of the colony of New Plymouth, in New England]]'' (New York : AMS Press, 1855) Vol. 12 (1861) Deeds, &c. Vol. 1 1620-1651 & Book of Indian Records for their lands [https://archive.org/details/recordsofcolonyo1112newp/page/6/mode/2up p 6]]* 1627: Sarah Priest was named in the second company, along with her family members in the cattle division at Plymouth. [The Division of Cattle in 1627. The Mayflower Descendant, Vol. 1, 1899, p. 149 (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2010)][Records of the colony of New Plymouth, Vol 12. [https://archive.org/details/recordsofcolonyo1112newp/page/8/mode/2up p. 9]]* 1633/4: John Coomb exchanged 30 acres near the high cliff, possessed in the 'right of Sarah, his wife' for 30 acres near 'Wynsloes stand.' [Records of the colony of New Plymouth, Vol. 12 (1861) Deeds, &c. Vol. 1 1620-1651 & Book of Indian Records for their lands [https://archive.org/details/recordsofcolonyo1112newp/page/136/mode/2up p. 137]]* 1648: August 1: The court ordered that William Spooner keep the children of Mrs. Coombs in his care and 'not dispose of them in the future' without further orders from the court.
Sarah married by about 1632 to [[Coombs-58|John Coombs]].
The last record of John Coombs at Plymouth Colony was on November 5, 1644, when he sued Thomas Morton. [Wakefield, Robert S. The Probable English Origin of Mr. John Coombs of Plymouth Colony. in: The American Genealogsit, Vol. 71, New Haven, Connecticut, 1996 p. 247-9. (Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2009 - .) ]
On October 27, 1646, Sarah's uncle Isaac Allerton, gave his son-in-law Thomas Cushman, power of attorney to collect debts on the estate of Godbert Godbertson due from John Coombs and others. [ Underhill, Lora Altine Woodbury. Descendants of Edward Small of New England, and the Allied Families, with Tracings of English Ancestry, Volume 2, Private Printing, Riverside Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1910 p. 603-4]
For reasons that are not known, possibly the demise of her husband, who had been disenfranchised for excessive drinking, and had been defendant for debts owed in several court cases, Sarah traveled to England about 1645/6 and left her two sons, John and Francis Coombs, in the care of their servant, William Spooner, who had agreed to their maintenance.
On August 1, 1648 At court, it was ordered, that Thomas Cushman shall have and enjoy, without disturbance, the one third part of all the English corn due unto Mis Combe, for her part, from William Spooner, for this present year ... "The said Court haue further ordered, concerning the children of the said Mis Combe, now being with William Spooner, yt the said Spooner keepe them for the psent, and not dispose of them for the future, without further order from the Court."[Records of the colony of New Plymouth, in New England; printed by order of the legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by New Plymouth Colony, by Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff and David Pulsifer Vol. 2 (1855) Court Orders 1641-1651 [https://archive.org/details/recordsofcolonyo0102newp/page/130/mode/2up p. 131]] This language implies that she was still living at the time.
It is believed that Sarah died in England.
=== Children ===# [[Coombs-45|John Coombs]] born about 1633; married Elizabeth (?Royal) Barlow at Boston on February 24, 1661/2.
