Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 profile matches this 47th Ohio Infantry assistant surgeon and May 3, 1863 Vicksburg action. A separate current reference profile with the same name belongs to a different First Lieutenant of the 30th U.S. Colored Troops at Petersburg in 1864 and was explicitly excluded; no identity merge or split was performed.
