Vermont, U.S., Veteran Burial Records, 1776-1980

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The typed card states Philip Wood was born Apr. 29, 1756 at Rehoboth, Mass., which directly matches the claim's year and place. The death date and the marker age (89) are consistent with that birth year. It is a later compiled grave registration rather than an original birth record, so it supports the claim but is not primary evidence of birth.
Matches: Name: Wood, Philip; Born Apr. 29, 1756 at Rehoboth, Mass., matching the claimed year 1756 and place; Died July 16, 1845 at Brattleboro, Vt., matching the 1845 death year in the claim; Headstone remark 'age 89 Yrs.' at death in July 1845 implies birth about 1755–56, consistent with 1756; Rev. War veteran, Pvt., Militia, Capt. Bullock's Co., Col. Carpenter's Regt. (Rehoboth-area militia, plausible)
Limits: The card is a compiled state veterans' grave registration, not a contemporary birth record, so the source of the birth date and place is unknown; The card does not name parents or next of kin, so it cannot confirm identity with this particular Philip Wood beyond name, dates and place; Age 89 on the marker is slightly off from an exact calculation (age 89 yrs 2 months would be 89, which fits), so it adds little independent confirmation
