1830 United States Federal Census

The image of page 12 for Brattleboro, Windham County, is readable and lists 'Wood Philip' as a household head. The only male aged 70–80 in his household fits a man born in 1756. This supports the 1830 Brattleboro residence, though the match depends on the name and age bracket because no other identifiers are given.
Matches: Page header shows Brattleboro, Windham County (Vermont), 1830 census, page 12, matching the citation detail; Entry 'Wood Philip' appears on the page as a head of household; A male tally of 1 in the 70–80 column fits Philip Wood, born 1756 and aged about 73–74 in 1830; The household also has a male 10–15, a male 20–30, and a female 20–30, which suggests a multi-generation household and does not conflict with the claim
Limits: A census gives an age bracket, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1756; Identity rests on the name and the age bracket; the census does not name other household members or state relationships; The 1830 census is not an exact date; it only places him in Brattleboro in 1830 (enumeration normally June 1830); The Wood Philip row has some faint or irregular tally marks, so the exact counts in the younger columns are slightly uncertain
