1800 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is a readable original page 513 from the 1800 census with a Brattleboro annotation, and it lists "Philip Wood" as a household head. This supports the name as used in the census. It says nothing about the birth and death years, so it is consistent with the claim but does not prove the identity.
Matches: Image shows an entry for "Philip Wood" (handwriting reads Philip/Philips Wood) on the page numbered 513; Page number 513 matches the citation detail; Marginal annotation appears to read "Brattleboro", matching the Census Place of Brattleboro, Windham, Vermont; Entry sits among W surnames (Wilder, Winchester, Wood, Wheaton) on the page, as expected for the 1800 census
Limits: The 1800 census names only the head of household, with age-range tallies, so it cannot confirm birth (1756) or death (1845) dates; The age bracket tallies cannot be tied to a specific person without further analysis; a man born 1756 would be 44 in 1800, and the entry shows tallies in several columns but their headings are not visible; The record supports only the name as it appeared in the census, not the identity of this Philip Wood with the person in the database; Another Wood, Jabez Wood, is on the same page, so a family relationship cannot be determined from this record
