The Vermont Graves Registration card, which is legible, names Philip Wood, born 29 Apr 1756 in Rehoboth, Mass., died 16 Jul 1845 in Brattleboro, and buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Brattleboro, Windham County. This matches the burial place and life span in the claim. The burial date field is empty, consistent with the claim having no date.
Matches: Name Philip Wood matches the claimed person; Born Apr. 29, 1756 at Rehoboth, Mass., and died July 16, 1845 at Brattleboro, Vt., matching the 1756–1845 life span; Buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery, City Brattleboro, Vt., County Windham, matching the claimed burial place; The burial date is blank on the card, matching the claim of no recorded date; The marker reads 'age 89 Yrs.', consistent with a 1756 birth and 1845 death; The card is marked Rev. War, with service as Pvt. in the militia
Limits: The card gives no burial date, so it cannot support one; The card has no next of kin or other identifiers, so it cannot link this Philip Wood to a particular family in the tree; The reverse of the card ('Over') is not shown
