Since their first son was born in New York I think it's
more likely they came by ship to New York, and then on to
Upper Canada (now Ontario)

Since you are looking for a NY arrival pre 1841 you may be
in luck because pre 1847 is indexed by surname and on
microfilm.

Both NARA & LDS have films with the New York passenger
lists.

Ships are on the reels in order of date of arrival, so all
you need to do is find the film number that has your
arrival date on it. Then order it in to a nearby Family
History Centre, or request a lookup from NARA.

When you get the film, scroll through to find your date but
if your ship isn't there, be sure to check more thoroughly
on the film - the lists aren't always exactly in
chronological order.

For a complete list of film numbers for ships (and
passenger lists) going to New York after 1820, see

http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_newyork.shtml

If you decide you want to check online resources first, try
some custom search engines (they search multiple websites)

Ships to New York can be searched at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/searchnyships.shtml

Be sure to scroll DOWN the page after you wait for it to
load completely.

You want the Search Engines labelled "Search FREE Ships
Passenger Lists to New York" or wherever the ships are
going TO or coming FROM in place of "to New York"

If you are the impatient type you can get these lists
online on Ancestry.com :-)
