notes
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin_(ship)_
Griffin was the name of a 17th-century ship known to have sailed between England and English settlements in Massachusetts. Several historical and genealogical references show the Griffin making such journeys in 1633 and 1634. The 1633 journey left at Downs, England and landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts on September 3. This 1633 journey carried religious dissidents, including Thomas Hooker,[1] John Cotton, and others totaling 200 people. The ship Griffin weighed in at 300 tons and she saw the birth of at least one child, Seaborn Cotton, during the 1633 voyage.[2] In 1634 the Griffin carried Anne Hutchinson to the Massachusetts colony. Huthcinson's oldest son had preceded her the previous year, also on the Griffin.

They settled in Cambridge, or "Newtown" where they received a four-acre parcel by the pine swamp north of the "cowe common." Joseph was paid for tending cattle on the common land. He was a freeman in May 1635.
The Mygate family joined a group who left Cambridge to settle the new town of Hartford in June 1636. Joseph was a merchant who carried on trade with the Indians. In 1656 "Good[man] Mygate is lycenced to sell strong liquors by retaile."
He was also a town officer, representative to the General Court, and a church deacon.
