The New England Dwight family had many members who were military leaders, educators, jurists, authors, businessmen and clergy. Around 1634 John Dwight came with his wife Hannah, daughter Hannah, and sons Timothy Dwight and John Dwight, from Dedham, Essex, England to North America where the town was named Dedham, Massachusetts. Son John died in 1638, and he had two more daughters, before dying in 1660. Known descendants are from their son Captain Timothy Dwight (1629–1717) and his third wife Anna Flint.
