Vermont, U.S., Vital Records, 1720-1908

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The card shows Philip Hood, age 89, who died July 16, 1845 or 1846 in Brattleboro, Vt. An age of 89 is consistent with a birth around 1756, but the birthplace (Rehoboth) is not stated. The Hood/Wood surname and the ambiguous death year mean the person's identity should be confirmed from other sources.
Matches: Card is a Brattleboro, Vermont death record for Philip Hood (surname written as Hood/Wood), male; Age at death 89 years implies birth about 1756–1757, in line with the claimed 1756; Date of death July 16, 1845/1846 is close to the claimed death year of 1845
Flags: Surname reads 'Hood' on the card while the claim is 'Wood'; this may be a handwriting or indexing variant, but identity is not confirmed; Death year looks like 1845 or 1846 (the last digit is ambiguous), so it may not match the claimed 1845
Limits: The card gives no birthplace, parents or occupation, so it cannot support the Rehoboth, Mass. birthplace; Age 89 gives only an approximate birth year: 1756 if he died in 1845 after his birthday, or 1757 if he died in 1846; The card does not link this man to the Philip Wood of Rehoboth in the database; the match rests on name, age and death year; The source is a death card, not a birth record
