-Joshua Whitney made his will 17 April 1713, in which he mentioned his "five daughters now living, Mary Peirce, Eleanor Shepart, Sarah Juell, Martha Williams and Elizabeth Farnsworth."  He also mentioned "eldest daughter wife to Thomas Woods."<sup>[6]</sup>  No daughter Alice was mentioned, and it was Thomas Woods, not Nathaniel, who married one of Joshua's daughters.  Although not listed by name in the will, other sources indicate that Thomas Woods's wife was Hannah Whitney.  Since she was not listed among his five living daughters, Hannah had apparently died.  Robert L. Ward of the Whitney Research Group has concluded that Alice is "very unlikely to be a daughter of Joshua Whitney."<sup>[7]</sup>  While there is no record of Joshua having any daughter named Alice, he did have a daughter Eleanor, wife of Samuel Shepard.  However, she could not have been the wife of Nathaniel Woods, as she was living in 1713 at the time of Joshua's will.<sup>[8]</sup>

 The 1895 Whitney genealogy stated that Alice/Eleanor was the daughter of Joshua<sup>2</sup> Whitney.  This idea apparently was originally published in 1860 in Henry Bond's Watertown genealogies.<sup>[4]</sup>  In the list of Joshua Whitney's children, Bond includes "dr. Woods, mentioned in her father's will; perhaps Alice, wife of Nathaniel Woods of Groton."<sup>[5]</sup>  However, Bond was mistaken.
