Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is a readable 1800 census page numbered 513, matching the citation, and it lists "Philip Wood" as a head of household. The marginal annotation appears to read Brattleboro, which fits the claimed residence. The age brackets are not checked against the 1756 birth here. A man born in 1756 would be 44 in 1800, which would put him in the 45-and-over bracket or just below it, and that is not verified.
Matches: Image shows an entry for "Philip Wood" with household counts (2, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1) on a page numbered 513; Citation gives Brattleboro, Windham, Vermont, 1800, M32 roll 52, page 513, which matches the page number on the image; The margin has a handwritten "Brattleboro" (reading uncertain), consistent with the town in the citation; The page is an 1800 census household-count schedule, with names listed alphabetically by initial (T, U, W)
Limits: The census records only the head of household and age-bracket tallies, so it cannot confirm Philip Wood's birth year (1756) or identity beyond the name; Other Philip Woods could exist, so the name match alone does not prove this is the same man; The town name in the margin is hard to read, though the citation supplies it; The 1800 date comes from the census year, not a specific enumeration day
