The transcribed register entry states the death date (24 January 1848), the place (Township of Farnham) and the name, which matches the claim directly. The burial date of 26 January is consistent with it. Because only a transcription is available, with no image, confidence stops at 3. The age of 61 is a minor tension with a 1787 birth but does not touch this claim.
Matches: Transcription says Samuel Wood Esqr of the Township of Farnham died on the twenty-fourth of January 1848; Burial on 26 January 1848 fits a death on 24 January; Place is Farnham, in the West Farnham Anglican register; Stated age of 61 is close to the claimed 1787 birth
Limits: No image is attached, so the transcription cannot be checked against the original entry; Age 61 at death on 24 Jan 1848 would strictly imply birth between 25 Jan 1786 and 24 Jan 1787, so a 1787 birth is a slight mismatch. It is within normal age-rounding error and does not affect the death claim; The record does not state a relationship between Samuel and the witnesses Philip and Amos Wood; Identity rests on name and place only; no spouse or parent is given
