The first entry on folio 3 of the 1848 Farnham Anglican register records that Samuel Wood Esqr of the Township of Farnham died on 24 January 1848 and was buried on 26 January 1848, aged sixty-one years, signed by William Jones. The name, death date and place all match the claim, and an age of 61 in January 1848 fits a birth in 1787. The place of death is inferred from his stated residence and the parish register, which is a reasonable reading but not an explicit statement.
Matches: Entry names "Samuel Wood Esqr of the Township of Farnham"; "died on the Twenty fourth & was buried on the Twenty sixth day of January Eighteen hundred & forty Eight": matches the death date of 24 January 1848; Register is labelled 1848, Farnham Anglican, and he is described as of the Township of Farnham, which matches Farnham, Quebec; "aged sixty one years" implies birth about 1786–1787, consistent with the claimed 1787
Limits: The register gives his residence (Township of Farnham), not an explicit place of death; The birth year can only be inferred from the stated age; no birth date is given; This is a church burial register kept by the officiant (William Jones), not a civil death record; No parents or spouse are named. The witnesses Philip Wood and Amos Wood are likely relatives, but the entry does not state the relationship
