Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier compiled.
The page image is readable and shows Alonzo Church Wood (1811-92) in the lineage of Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun, no. 138910. The name and years match the claim exactly. The source is a published lineage book and so is compiled, which caps confidence, but nothing conflicts.
Matches: Entry 138910 (Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun) lineage line 2 reads "Alonzo Church Wood (1811-92) m. 1837 Amelia Dickenson (1815-54)"; Full name Alonzo Church Wood matches the claim; Years 1811-92 match the claimed 1811–1892; Placed in the lineage between Joshua Smith's wife Amina Eveline Wood and Samuel Wood (1787-1848) m. Abigail Church, which fits the middle name Church
Limits: Compiled DAR lineage book, not an original record; it is a secondary source for the name; Gives only birth and death years, no places or full dates; Evidence for the name only; it does not prove his parentage beyond the lineage line shown
