Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image of page 110 for Brattleboro, Windham, Vermont shows a head of household named "Philip Wood" in the lower half. This supports the name as recorded in 1820. It cannot verify the life dates or identity beyond the name and an age bracket that fits, so the claim is consistent but not fully proven.
Matches: Page 110 of the 1820 census for Brattleboro, Windham, Vermont, with "Brattleboro" written in the left margin, matches the citation; An entry reads "Philip Wood" (handwriting is slightly ambiguous, "Whoe"/"Wood") on this page; The household is shown as one free white male age 45 and over, which fits a man born in 1756 (aged about 64)
Limits: A census lists only the head of household, so it cannot confirm birth or death years (1756–1845) or tie this Philip Wood to the person in the database; The name is the only identifier, and the handwriting is a little hard to read; The age-category columns are hard to read with certainty, and the household shows a '2' in the 4th column and other marks that I cannot confidently interpret; Other Philip Woods may have been living in Brattleboro in 1820
What it supports
- Person — Philip Wood
