William Johnson from Bordeaux, France

Classification: Birth
Surnames: Johnson
Trying to see if anyone has any insight on William Francis Johnson, born 25 March 1847. He immigrated to the US in 1865, though I do not know through which port. He did, however, settle in Pensacola, Florida, so I am inclined to believe he came through a southern port. It is thought his last name was changed to the more English sounding "Johnson" when he immigrated, so I do not know what his birth name was or his parents' names. I have checked through various French birth records on this site but have not had any real hits. Does anyone have any suggestions into how to narrow this down or figure out this mystery?
