Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image is a readable Vermont Graves Registration card for Philip Wood, born 1756 in Rehoboth, Mass., died 1845 in Brattleboro, Vt. The name and the 1756–1845 lifespan match the claim. The card is a typed administrative record, so it is a reliable but derivative source.
Matches: Card names "Wood, Philip", matching the claimed name; Born Apr. 29, 1756 at Rehoboth, Mass., which matches the claimed birth year 1756; Died July 16, 1845 at Brattleboro, Vt., which matches the claimed death year 1845; Upright marker transcription: "Philip Wood died July 16, 1845, age 89 Yrs.", consistent with a 1756 birth; Marked Rev. War, Pvt., Militia, Capt. Bullock's Co., Col. Carpenter's Regt.
Limits: The card does not give next of kin or other identifying details to tie this Philip Wood to a specific family in the database; The card is a later typed compilation, not the original burial or death record; The claim is only about the name, so the dates are corroborating rather than needed
