Edward W. Dwight
Edward Woolsey Dwight (April 8, 1827 - March 6, 1904) was an American farmer and politician.
== Background ==
Dwight was born in Catskill, New York on April 8, 1827. His father was Benjamin W. Dwight, a doctor (son of Timothy Dwight IV, President of Yale College and a member of the noted Dwight family of New England) and later treasurer of Hamilton College. His mother was Sophia (Strong) Dwight. They raised six children: Benjamin, Theodore, Sophia, Mary, Elizabeth, and Edward.
Edward Dwight left home at the age of 15, went to Boston, Massachusetts and signed up on the whaling schooner ''Council'', which returned to Boston after sailing the Atlantic Ocean for one year. He then went to Clinton, New York and worked on a farm there until 1847, when he left for the Wisconsin Territory (in May of that year he had married Elizabeth Foote of Clinton, daughter of John and Mary (Love) Foote). They traveled via the Great Lakes to Racine, then got a ride on a lumber wagon to a place called "Walnut, Wisconsin" (some sources say Spring Prairie). This "Walnut" may or may not be identified with Walnut Springs, Wisconsin, a short-lived post office which operated for a couple of decades in the Town of Adams in Green County on the road between Madison and Wiota.
