Why was the reason the Mormons were found?
The Mormons were never found or discovered, so I'll assume you mean "founded", not "found". The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr. He founded the Church because in 1820 he had prayed to God to ask which church he should join. He received a miraculous visit from God the Father and Jesus Christ, telling him that he should join none of the churches because they had all strayed from the original teachings of Jesus Christ. Over the next 10 years, Joseph received more visions and visitations from Jesus Christ, angels, and Biblical prophets, each restoring to him some knowlege or authority which had been lost since the New Testament times. In 1830, he founded the Church, which is meant to be a restoration of the original New Testament Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ. In short, the "Mormons" were founded because true Christianity and the authority to preach it was not to be found on the earth.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
