Phillip 1670
An ancestry tree has him as being married to a Lydia Parker and parents recorded as George Dwight and Joan Greenough

Marriage from familysearch - John Dwight to Liddia Parker 23 Feb 1660 St Marys Mountshaw London

* In a John Dwight pottery article on google it refers to John dedicating a statue made in 1673/74 called "Lydia Dwight Dead" who died aged 6
