Is Noah Webster best known for his contributions to the o.e.d.?

Noah Webster is best known for his contributions to American lexicography, particularly for his dictionary, "An American Dictionary of the English Language," published in 1828. While he significantly influenced American English and spelling conventions, he is not associated with the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), which was developed later in the UK. Webster's work laid the foundation for standardized American English, distinguishing it from British English.
