Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The reference profile combines Chancellorsville and Auburn but its structured date field shows only October 14, 1863. The official U.S. Army roll documents May 3, 1863 at Chancellorsville and October 14, 1863 at Auburn. The canonical record retains both actions and preserves the Society field exactly.
