It is written in notes on my family history that our original immigrant from Germany (Bavaria), arrived by sailboat which was sailing for Boston but was blew off course and arrived in Halifax in 1840. Does anyone have any record of such a sailboat landing?

You are talking about the period that was called the "Age of Sail" and a geographical area that was one of the centers of ocean-going traffic. Literally dozens of ships would have been blown off course during that year. What was your ancestors name?
