The image shows the lineage for Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun, with line 3 listing 'Samuel Wood (1787-1848) m. 1809 Abigail Church (1788-1837)'. This states the claimed name and the years 1788–1837 directly. Because it is a compiled lineage rather than a primary record, confidence is limited to 3.
Matches: Page 280 of the DAR Lineage Book, entry 138910 (Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun), line 3 reads: 'Samuel Wood (1787-1848) m. 1809 Abigail Church (1788-1837)'; The name Abigail Church and the dates 1788–1837 match the claim exactly; She appears as the wife of Samuel Wood and the mother of Alonzo Church Wood, so the Church surname is consistent with her son's middle name
Limits: This is a compiled lineage book, a secondary source built from applicant-submitted lineages, not an original vital record; It gives only birth and death years, with no places or exact dates; The citation detail says Volume 139 (1918), while the page is headed 'Daughters of the American Revolution' with page 280 and member numbers around 138910; this is a minor volume labeling matter; Her parentage is not stated
