1840 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The readable image shows "Wood Philip" on a Brattleboro, Windham Co. page of the 1840 schedule. This supports residence there in 1840. The age bracket cannot be tied to him with certainty because the tally marks are misaligned or faint. The match rests on the name and place, plus a plausible elderly male mark nearby.
Matches: The 1840 census page lists "Wood Philip" as a head of family.; The margin notation reads "Brattleboro, Windham Co.", matching Brattleborough, Windham, Vermont.; Page 38 (image 1) and its reverse (image 2, stamped 39) agree with the citation's page 39.; A male tally in the 80–90 column sits at or beside the Wood Philip/Weld Luther lines, which would fit a man aged about 84 (born 1756).
Limits: The 1840 census names only the head of household, so it does not confirm that this is the Philip Wood born 1756 and died 1845.; The tally marks are faint, and the 80–90 male mark may belong to the Weld Luther line rather than Wood Philip's row.; The Wood Philip row itself appears nearly blank, so the household composition cannot be checked against the claim.; The census gives a residence for the census year only, not a date range.
