Actually, I did come across the word "wight" in Sleepy Hollow or Rip Van Winkle, I believe, by Washington Irving. In fact, the definintion of wight is "a living being, a creature."

At least I think it was one of those two...I do know the book preceded Tolkien. I haven't read the Green Rider series, so I don't know the context...
