The quoted text says Philip Wood died in Brattleboro on 16 July 1845 and was buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery. This states the burial place and fits the birth and death years in the claim. The source is a compiled town history and the page image was not seen, so it cannot be treated as an original record.
Matches: Name Philip Wood matches the claim; Birth 29 Apr 1756 fits the 1756 birth year; Death 16 July 1845 in Brattleboro fits the 1845 death year; The text states he was buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery, which is in Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont
Limits: No image attached; this is a transcription quoted in the citation, not the page itself; Annals of Brattleboro is a compiled published history, not a burial register or gravestone; No burial date is given, which matches the claim's 'none recorded'; Prospect Hill Cemetery's location in Brattleboro is taken from general knowledge, not from the quoted text
