Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The 1830 census page for Brattleboro, Windham, Vermont lists "Wood Philip" as a head of household, which matches the name in the claim. The tally for an older male (about 70-80) fits a man born in 1756, who would be about 74. The record confirms the name as used but cannot confirm the 1756–1845 dates or identity beyond that.
Matches: Image shows a household headed by "Wood Philip" in Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont, 1830 census, page 12; The household includes a male aged 80 to 90 (one tally in the 80-90 column, which on this page appears in the Wood Philip row at roughly 70-80 position), consistent with a man born 1756 (age ~74 in 1830); Name matches the claim
Limits: A census lists only the head of household and tallies; it does not give a full name beyond "Philip Wood" or a birth or death date; The age bracket tally in the Wood Philip row is hard to read precisely; it appears in the 70-80 column, which fits age 74 but does not prove identity; Nothing in the record links this Philip Wood to the 1756–1845 individual beyond name, age and place; Supports the name only, not the life dates
What it supports
- Person — Philip Wood
