Dwight surname heritage and early American educator
The Dwight surname likely derives from Teutonic De Witt or English Thwaite. John Dwight (d. 1660) helped found America’s first tax-supported free school in 1644, and he settled in Dedham after emigrating from Watertown, Massachusetts. The coat of arms features ermine and a lion, with a crescent symbolizing hope and a cross denoting religious experience. Present bearers include Arthur Smith, Edmund, and Herbert Bristol.
