Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier index.
The citation describes the will of Phillip Wood of Brattleboro, proved 25 Aug 1845. That is consistent with a death in mid-July 1845 in Brattleboro, but the citation text does not state the death date. The image was not available to check whether the will or probate papers mention the date, so the claim is only consistent.
Matches: Will of Phillip Wood, "late of Brattleboro, deceased" matches the name and place of the claim; Will proved 25 Aug 1845, which fits a death before that date and is consistent with death in July 1845; Will dated 29 Mar 1842, so the testator was alive then, which does not conflict with a 1845 death
Limits: No image attached and no transcription, so the will text cannot be checked; The citation detail gives dates of the will and probate but not the date of death; 16 July 1845 is not stated; A probate record shows only that death occurred before 25 Aug 1845; it does not fix the day or month; Birth year 1756 and identity of this Phillip Wood with the claimed person are not shown in the citation; Brattleboro is given as the residence ('late of'), not explicitly as the place of death
