The citation describes the will of Phillip Wood of Brattleboro, proved 25 Aug 1845, which matches the claimed probate date and place. Without an image or any age or family details, identification with the Philip Wood born 1756 rests on name and place alone. The 1842 will date is not a conflict, since the claim uses the proving date.
Matches: Will of Phillip Wood, late of Brattleboro, deceased, matches name and place; Proved 25 Aug 1845 matches the claimed probate date; Windham County, Vermont matches the claimed jurisdiction; Death before Aug 1845 fits a person who died in 1845
Limits: No image attached; only the citation text was assessed, so the will itself was not read; The citation does not give birth year or age, so it cannot confirm this is the Philip Wood born 1756; The will is dated 29 Mar 1842; the claimed date is the proving date, which is consistent but not the same event as the will date; Brattleboro is the residence given, and the record does not say where the probate court sat (Marlboro District), though that is normal; Citation is an Ancestry database reference, with no transcript of will contents such as heirs
