1840 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The 1840 census image lists a household head "Wood Philip" in Brattleborough, Windham Co., Vermont, which matches the name in the claim and the citation's place. The row's age marks are hard to make out, so the record cannot confirm that he is the man born in 1756. It supports the name form but not his identity or dates.
Matches: Page shows a head of household written as "Wood Philip" (reads "Wood Philip" or similar) in the Brattleborough, Windham Co., Vermont schedule; Place in citation (Brattleborough, Windham, Vermont) matches the marginal annotation "Brattleboro Windham Co."; Surname and given name match the claimed name Philip Wood
Limits: The claim is only the name; a census lists the head's name but does not prove he is the Philip Wood born 1756; The Philip Wood row shows no clear tick marks in the age columns on the visible page, so age cannot be checked against a man born 1756 (would be age ~84, in the 80-90 column); Handwriting is faded and the first name is only partly legible; Census page alone does not establish identity or the 1756–1845 dates
