Do you have anything to confirm the year of emigration other than the family story? (Census records should say when he arrived).
Also, do you know if/when he naturalized?
There could be multiple reasons why you don't see him on the Castle Garden lists: he came through another US port or via Canada, his name is misspelt on the records/mistranscribed, he was crew/working his passage, etc.
