Researching John S. EICHLER, born about 1843 in Hassen, Germany.

I am new to researching and could use some suggestions.

What would be the best sources to research a person who immigrated to the USA in 1859? Since he was about 16 years old would he probably have come with family or in that period of time would a young boy come by himself?

Would the name be in a passenger database and which one if it is? What would the possible port of entry for someone coming from from Germany during this time period?

Thank you.
