The quoted Cabot entry explicitly gives Philip Wood's birth as Apr. 29, 1756 at Rehoboth, Mass., and his death in 1845, matching the claim's year and place. It is a published compilation without an image, so it is secondary evidence rather than an original record.
Matches: Name Philip Wood matches; Birth year 1756 matches the stated Apr. 29, 1756; Birthplace Rehoboth, Mass. matches; Death 1845 in Brattleboro also matches the claimed lifespan 1756–1845
Limits: No image attached; only the quoted text of the citation is available; Compiled local history (Annals of Brattleboro), not an original birth record; Source for Cabot's data (e.g., town vital records) not stated in the citation
