The book that you are looking for is "A Historical Notice of Joseph Mygatt". It was published in 1852 by Frederick Mygatt. It tells of Joseph coming to Cambridge, MA in 1632 and later being one of the founders of Hartford, CT. Very interesting if you are in to Mygatt history.

I have a copy if you would like a lookup.
