The citation describes a will abstract and inventory for Reuben Church naming Samuel Wood and describes Samuel as husband of Abigail. That supports the relationship but not the 1809 marriage date. Since it is a compiled source with no image, it is consistent but thin.
Matches: Source identifies Samuel (Wood) as husband of Abigail (Church), in a Church family context; Will abstract of Reuben Church and inventory mention Sam Wood, linking him to the Church family
Limits: No image attached; only the citation description is available; Compiled family genealogy (1949), not an original record; Citation does not state a marriage date, so 1809 is not confirmed; Inventory entry (receipt for mortgages on lands in Canada by Sam Wood) shows a connection, not a marriage; Dates of birth/death (1787–1848; 1788–1837) not addressed in the cited text
