Dwight, Isaac Marion, 1799-1873
Isaac Marion Dwight (1799-1873) was a plantation owner and a South Carolina state legislator. He represented St. George Dorchester in the Southern Rights Convention in 1852. Dwight planted Cedar Grove Plantation on the Ashley River in St. George Dorchester Parish, S.C., and also had property in St. Johns Berkeley Parish. His second wife was Martha Maria Porcher Dwight (1807-1842), the niece of Samuel Porcher (1768-1851). Samuel Porcher planted Mexico Plantation, where he built an embankment (known as Porcher Bank) over four miles long to hold back the waters of the Santee River. Isaac M. Dwight's son Richard Yeadon Dwight (1837-1919) married Rowena Elizabeth Ravenel, the daughter of Dr. Henry Ravenel (1790-1867) of Pooshee Plantation (Berkeley County, S.C.).
