Stuart Wood, 1853-1914.

A student of Charles Dunbar's at Harvard, Stuart Wood became the first person to receive a Ph.D. in the United States for an economics thesis (albeit granted by the Dept. of Political Science).  In two essays (1888, 1889), Stuart Wood is credited (by Stigler among others) for having independently discovered the marginal productivity theory of distribution and introduced the concept of marginal rates of substitution between factors of production.
