    Hepzibah Wheeler ye Daughter of Josiah Wheeler & Mary his wife was born Feb : 16 : 1754.

  2.   Note: Source:Wheeler, Albert Gallatin. Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America, p. 157, says that Hepzibah m. 23 Feb 1782 Aaron Wright and d. 1794. This doesn't stand up against Concord VRs. The line immediately above the marriage record of Hepzibah Wheeler and Samuel Darby, on p. 256, reports the marriage of Hepzibah Meriam on 23 Feb 1782 to Aaron Wright. On p. 322, the death of Aaron's wife 4 Aug 1794 gives her age as 35. Hepzibah Wheeler would have been 40 years old. However, 35 years old matches the birth of "Hibzabeth Meriam" who was b. 1758 to Nathan and Abigail Meriam. And Aaron Wright's eldest child was named Nathan Meriam Wright (p. 250). So all of Wheeler's information about Hepzibah's marriage and subsequent life is in error.
