Joseph Northrup arrived in Boston from England on the Hector and Martha July 26, 1637. He was said to be part of a group known as Eaton and Davenport company, led by the Rev. John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, a wealthy London businessman. After arriving in Boston, most of the group followed Eaton down the coast in search of a good harbor, which they found in New Haven, Connecticut. At the same time, another flock, led by Rev. Peter Prudden, settled in Milford, Connecticut. Joseph Northrup died thirty years after the settlement of Milford, and forty-four years before the town was granted a Patent.
