The best known is Samuel Deane, "History of Scituate, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1831" (Boston: James Loring, 1831; repr. N. Scituate, MA: 1899; and others). Another is Harvey Hunter Pratt, "The Early Planters of Scituate" (Scituate, MA: Scituate Historical Society, 1929; also reprints). The one you are thinking of is undoubtedly from the DAR - "Old Scituate" (Scituate, MA: Chief Justice Cushing Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, 1921).
