U.S., Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications, 1889-1970

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image is an original SAR membership application, and the title page names the applicant as Norman Bentley Wood. The inner text gives the same name, a Ridgefield, New Jersey birth in November 189_, and a mother with the maiden name Bentley. That supports the name claim directly. The dates of birth and death are not confirmed by this page.
Matches: The cover page reads "Application for Membership of Norman Bentley Wood, Descendant of Philip Wood"; The typed text inside shows "Norman Bentley Wood" as the applicant, with a birth in Ridgefield, Bergen County, New Jersey, in November 189_; The applicant's parents are given as George S. Wood and Mary Wagner Bentley, which fits the middle name Bentley; The application was approved March 31, 1920 and registered April 27, 1920 (National No. 33663, State No. 2289), so the name is attested in an original record
Limits: The claim is only about the name, and the record fully supports that; The birth year is partly illegible ("189_"), so it cannot confirm 1889 here; The record says nothing about his death in 1950; The image is a faint, show-through scan, so some inner text is hard to read
