Coast family in England
Hi! I'm looking for a link between England and America.I am pretty sure that John F. Coast, born about 1814, was from Kent, England.I found a record that maybe he came over March 25, 1835 from London on the Ship Philadelphia.The record states that he was a mechanic and was from Great Britain.He arrived in New York and there he met Eleanor Ferguson, born in Ireland.Eventually they ended up in West Virginia after stopping in Ohio for a couple of years.John died December 15, 1891 in Jackson County, West Virginia.
I've been researching this part of my family for about 7 years now.I've been at this dead end for about 5.Since I couldn't work back any further, I ended up tracing the descendants of John and his wife Eleanor.ANY information would be awesome and very much appreciated!
