Frankie, I have been researching my Priest family for many years and have never run across any information that they were of Dutch descent.If your family bible is correct and your Nancy Priest was of Dutch descent, then I would guess that that her surname actually started out as Prust or Preiss or De Priest or some other spelling and Nancy's ancestors just changed the spelling to Priest.Several years ago I read an article about British ships dumping prisoners in the Colonies, and I remember they mentioned Georgia and listed two men named Priest, but I can't remember their given names.Wish I could be more helpful.Hope you can eventually solve the puzzle of Nancy's ancestors.If I run across anything of interest to you, I will be in touch.Karen
