Joshua4 Whitney (William3, Joshua2, John1), son of William3 and Lydia (Perham) Whitney,[1] was born 1 Nov 1714. Groton, MA,[2] and died between mid-April and 7 Oct 1744, Preston, CT.[3]

He married, before 1737, Anna (?Blodgett?).[4] If her name was Blodgett, it seems likely that she was the same as Anna Blodgett, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Druse) Blodgett,[5] born 9 May 1714, Chelmsford, MA.[6] Her date of death is unknown.[7] It seems probable that she remarried.

On 18 Nov 1739, Anna was admitted to communion with the First Church, Preston, CT.[8] Probably before that they had lived in Tolland, CT, where records of the births of their first three children are found.
