Anderson does not include Joseph Northrup among those immigrants who arrived in New England prior to the end of 1640.

"1 Joseph Northrup, immigrant from England, and perhaps from Yorkshire. He was one of 'Eaton and Davenport's Company, of good character and fortune,' who came from England in 1637 in the ships Hector and Martin. They landed in Boston July 26, 1637, and settled at New Haven in Apr., 1638. They were mostly from Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, and Rent. Members of this company, and of Sir Richard Saltonstall's Company, removed to and settled Milford, Conn., and the 'free planters of the town' were enrolled Nov. 30, 1639; but Joseph, not then being in church following, his name (with others) appears in the list immediately after the free planters."
[Apparently there is no record evidence directly connecting Joseph Northrup to the 1637 emigration.]
"The surname Northrup was spelled as here given in the earliest records and inscriptions on tombstones—rup—sometimes rupp, and occasionally roop, and more often rop, although this last termination was not common at an early period. Joseph1, his s. Joseph2 and his s., James, Joseph, and Moses, and most of their descendants, spelled the name Northrup. Northrop, however, was the common form in England. …
January 9, 1642, Joseph united with The First Church in Milford. He married Mary, daughter of Francis Norton, who came to Milford from Wethersfield with the Rev. Peter Prudden and his party. Joseph died Sept. 11, 1669. His will was dated Sept 1, 1669. It mentions of his children only Joseph, Samuel, Jeremiah, and John. Codicil to his will says, 'My mother shall have a living in my house as long as she lives'—perhaps meaning his wife's mother, Mrs. Norton."
