Who exactly the first Mormons were isn't super important, but the history of Mormonism is very important to those within the faith. Not only are the stories of those first converts faith-affirming, Mormons also see in them direct fulfillment of scripture which validates their position as God's true church. It is also important for many Mormons to ensure that they are carrying on the legacy of strong faith and hard work that their forefathers established. Because of it's importance to the position of the church and the faith of it's members, every four years, the entire church (children, youth, and adults) will study the history of the church (rather than The Bible) in Sunday School.Knowing the people involved in the beginnings of Mormonism, their situation, personality, and temperament is certainly not essential, but it is helpful in establishing a strong testimony of the truthfulness of the church and it's doctrines. If you feel you know and can trust those who founded the faith, you have more confidence in the doctrines they taught.

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.
