Rev. Josiah Dwight, s. of Capt. Timothy Dwight and his father's 3rd wife, Anna Flint (q.v. Flynt), b. of record Feb. 8 (bp. Feb. 19), 1670/71 at Dedham, Mass. He d. Aug. 8, 1748 and is interred at Thompson, Conn. (g.s.)

Rev. Dwight graduated from Harvard in 1687 and in 1690 at age 19 was installed as the first pastor of New Roxbury (a.k.a. Woodstock), Mass., since 1749 now the Town of Woodstock, Conn. For the next 36 years Rev. Dwight was pastor of the First Cong. Church of Woodstock until released in 1726 due to discord between he and his parishioners. He then left Woodstock to reside with his son-in-law Rev. Maston Cabot of nearby Thompson, Conn. Thereafter for eight years (June 1735 to 1743) he was pastor of the Third Parish Church of Dedham, Mass. Following this last dismission he returned to Thompson, Conn. where he died at the home of son-in-law Rev. Cabot.

On Dec. 4, 1695 at Hatfield, Mass., Rev. Dwight m. Mary Partridge, dau. of Col. Samuel Partridge and Mehitable Crow, b. circa 1678 at Hatfield. Her death and interment location is not of record, but was after 1724 when Rev. Dwight wrote his will, which included his wife Mary. However, the will was not probated for another 24 years until his death in 1748. Mary's older sister Mehitable was the wife of Rev. Dwight's older brother Nathaniel Dwight of Northampton, Mass.

Rev. Josiah Dwight and Mary Partridge had twelve known children, ten who were living in 1724 and included by name in Rev. Dwight's will. However, only six have a recorded birth in the Woodstock records, and two others who died young are known only by their grave record at Woodstock - Anna, John, Ruth, Dorothy, Rev. Flint, Mehitable (d.y.), Mehitable, Eunice, Mary, Elijah (d.y.), Elizabeth and Theodore.
