Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The DAR Lineage Book page (No. 138910) states that Philip Wood (1756-1845) was born in Rehoboth, Mass. and died in Brattleboro, Vt. This confirms the place and year of death. The specific date of 16 July 1845 does not appear and needs another source. The claim is consistent but only partly stated.
Matches: Philip Wood (1756-1845) is named as a Revolutionary War private in Capt. Stephen Bullock's company, Col. Thomas Carpenter's regiment, Massachusetts troops; The entry states he died in Brattleboro, Vt.; The death year 1845 matches the claim; The printed life dates (1756-1845) match the person in the claim
Limits: The entry gives only the year of death (1845), not the day or month, so 16 July 1845 is not confirmed; This is a compiled lineage book (DAR Lineage Book, vol. 139), a secondary source based on member applications, not an original death record; The page entry concerns Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun's ancestry; Philip Wood is mentioned as the ancestor, with no further detail
