North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier compiled.
The page image clearly shows the DAR lineage entry for Philip Wood (1756-1845), born in Rehoboth, Mass. and died in Brattleboro, Vt. Both the birth year and place match the claim. The source is a compiled lineage book rather than an original birth record, so confidence is capped at 3.
Matches: Entry 138910 (Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun) states "Philip Wood (1756-1845) served as private in Capt. Stephen Bullock's company... He was born in Rehoboth, Mass.; died in Brattleboro, Vt."; Birth year 1756 and birthplace Rehoboth, Mass. match the claim; Philip Wood is named as the Revolutionary ancestor, and the lineage lists his 1781 marriage to Eunice Pierce
Limits: The record gives only the birth year 1756, not a full birth date; This is a DAR lineage book, a compiled secondary source based on member applications, not a contemporary birth record; Page 280 is from Lineage Book volume 139; the book's own printed header is on the page, but the citation lists only the volume
