Aaron Wright & Hspzibah Meriam both of concord were maried by Jn'o Cuming Esq. Feb. 23, 1782.
Source:Wheeler, Albert Gallatin. Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in Americap. 157, makes the ridiculous assertion that Aaron's wife was Hepzibah Wheeler, despite several obvious facts to the contrary, including the marriage record, Hephzibah's age at death, and Source:Pope, Charles Henry. Merriam Genealogy in England and America, which published the correct information 8 years earlier. Presumably Wheeler, or his informant, made a record-keeping error, since listed just below Aaron's marriage to Hepzibah Meriam is the marriage of Samuel Darby to Hepzibah Wheeler (though other mistakes made by Wheeler make one wonder if he bothered to refer to the Concord records).
