The first entry on folio 3 of the 1848 Farnham Anglican register reads that Samuel Wood Esqr of the Township of Farnham died on the twenty fourth and was buried on the twenty sixth day of January 1848, aged sixty one years. The entry is signed by William Jones, with Philip Wood and Amos Wood as witnesses. The burial date matches the claim exactly, and the age is consistent with birth in 1787. West Farnham lies within Farnham Township, so the place is consistent, but the record names only the township and does not identify the burial ground.
Matches: Entry names Samuel Wood Esqr of the Township of Farnham; Record states he was buried on the twenty sixth day of January 1848, matching the claimed burial date; Death on the twenty fourth of January 1848 fits the claimed death year 1848; Aged sixty one years implies birth about 1786–1787, consistent with the claimed 1787; Register is labelled Farnham Anglican 1848, folio third (3), so the burial is in a Farnham-area parish register
Limits: Record says 'Township of Farnham' and the register is marked 'Farnham Anglican'; the specific locality 'West Farnham' is not written; The place of burial (church or cemetery) is not named; it is inferred from the parish register; The age at death gives only an approximate birth year, not a birth date
