Sarah Pow ell died in 1664 and on January 9, 1665, he married Anna Flynt (sometimes Flint ). She bore Timothy Dwight ten children, one of which was NATHANIEL (see #364) . Anna died January 29, 1685/86, and Timothy Dwight married three more times. His last wife was the only one who outlived him, and that by only one week. S he died on February 6, 1718, seven days after her husband. Savage's Genealog ical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England (1860-1862) suggests that Timothy Dwight was born about 1633, and says this about his death: "He d. 31 J an. 1718, aged 88, some say, but in 85th yr. is prob."[1728974.FTW] Of Dedham Rep 1791[2666767.FTW] "Capt.

Daniel Fisher, married 31 July 1690, wh o died 30 Jan. following; and last was Bethia Morse, married 1 F eb. 1692, and died 6 Feb. 1718. She bare him no children nor di d the fourth or fifth wives. He died 31 Jan. 1718, aged 88, so me say; but in 85th year is more probable."

Timothy Dwight, Dedham, was a child when his father brought hi m to Dedham in 1635. He was admitted a member of the church i n 1652, elected a representative in 1691 and 1692, and perhaps a t a later period. He is described as one "of an excellent spiri t, peaceable, generous, charitable, and a promoter of the true i nterests of the church and town." He died 31 Jan. 1718, ae. 83 . The late Rev.

[So urce: Pope, Pioneers of Massachusetts] In his father's will of 1658, Timothy Dwight was named Executo r and given the major bequest, as follows: "My will is, that m y dwelling house, land, and moveables in ye Towne of Dedham, o r elsewhere, which shall be founde to my estate, at my decease , be equally devided into fiue pts, two pts whereof I giue vnt o my sonne, Timothy Dwight... Alsoe, my will is, that my son, Ti mothy Dwight, shall enjoy all that house and land which I gaue h im at hir first marriage with Sarah Sibly. "[2836643.FTW] The Honorable Timothy Dwight served as a legislator in the House of Representat ives of the Massachusetts General Court as the representative from Dedham for t he years 1691, 1692, 1693, and 1694. He was also a selectman of Dedham, a just ice of the peace, and a captain in the militia. An 1874 genealogy of the Dwigh t family suggests that he "died full of age and honors." Timothy Dwight was married six times. His first wife was Sarah (Sibley) Perman whom he married in 1651 and who died in childbirth the next year. He next married Sarah Powell i n 1653 and she bore him four children, two of which died in infancy. Sarah Pow ell died in 1664 and on January 9, 1665, he married Anna Flynt (sometimes Flint ). She bore Timothy Dwight ten children, one of which was NATHANIEL (see #364) . Anna died January 29, 1685/86, and Timothy Dwight married three more times. His last wife was the only one who outlived him, and that by only one week. S he died on February 6, 1718, seven days after her husband.
