86 JUKES- ED WA RDS 



A. S. Dwight, lieutenant U. S. A.; killed at Peters- 

 burg. 



George P. B. Dwight, New York custom house. 



Henry E. Dwight, born in 1813; Southern planter. 



Theodore Woolsey Porter, b. 1799, g. Yale 1819, 

 eminent teacher; pi-incipal of Washington Institute, 

 New York City. 



Timothy Dwight Porter, M.D., b. 1797, g. Yale 

 1816, was in the New York senate and a successful 

 practitioner. 



Imperfectly as these names represent the achieve- 

 ments of the descendants of Mary Edwards Dwight 

 they do hint strongly at the vigor, character and 

 scholarship for which the family of Jonathan Ed- 

 wards stands in American life. 



There is another large family of Dwights, direct 

 descendants of Jonathan Edwards, through his 

 granddaughter, Rhoda Edwards, but these are not, 

 of course, included in this list of Mary's descendants. 

 Many of these are eminent men, and reference is 

 here made to their omission, lest some one should 

 think the facts regarding them were not gathered. 



A MODERN INSTANCE 



It was known that John Eliot Woodbridge re- 

 moved to Youngstown, O., about one hundred years 

 ago, but no trace of him was found until these 

 chapters were in type when it appeared that this 

 undiscovered remainder was a most important 

 branch of the family.
