The citation describes the will of Phillip Wood of Brattleboro, dated 29 Mar 1842, which matches the claim's date and place. Without the image, the identity of the testator as the 1756-born Philip cannot be checked, and nothing in the citation contradicts it. The 1845 probate fits the claimed death year.
Matches: Will of Phillip Wood (spelling variant of Philip), late of Brattleboro, deceased; Will dated 29 Mar 1842, matching the claim date; Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont matches the claimed place; Proved 25 Aug 1845, consistent with a death in 1845 (claimed lifespan 1756–1845)
Limits: No image attached; only the citation text was available, so the will contents were not read; Citation does not give age, birth year or relatives, so it cannot confirm this is the Philip Wood born 1756; Proving of the will 25 Aug 1845 suggests but does not state the death date; Probate record is held in Marlboro District; the place of the will is inferred from his residence, not stated as where it was written
