There was no Sheffield in the index, but there are candidates for Albert seen in the index, both under "Northrop" and "Northrup". I didn't look further because you didn't include any other identifying data (dates, places, parents, children), but you can! You'll find the book free for download at HeritageQuest (ask your local research librarian how to access it) and GoogleBooks (if you still trust Google sites now that the new policies are in place). Ancestry.com might have it, too. "The Northrup - Northrop Genealogy A Record of the Known Descendants of Joseph Northrup, Who Came from England in 1637, and Was One of the Original Settlers of Milford, Conn., in 1639. With Lists of Northrups and Northrops in the Revolution." A. Judd Northrup, LL.D. The Grafton Press New York, 1908. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
