John Jack James b1854 Newlyn and his emigration to Kings New York

[tornado]

 I am looking to track my ancestor down in Brooklyn Kings N York . John was a Master Mariner from Newlyn born 1854 . His Father was an Arthur James . I can find few records of John and his family and was hoping someone could help my search for my Family tree files of John J ?. There is a family rumour that he emigrated to New York around 1884 . It is curious to me as why he should do this , hence i am requesting further info . I appreciate any support her and thank you.
