Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The reference profile expands the middle name and uses 5th U.S. Colored Infantry, while the official Army index and inherited citation use 5th U.S. Colored Troops. Colored Troops is canonical; both official unit renderings remain preserved. Historical Chapin's Farm wording replaces the inherited street geocoder result.
