Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited Robert Pinn candidates did not include the current reference URL. Controlled archival reference search recovered Robert A. Pinn. The archive expands the middle initial, preserves the exact source heading without a period, records First Sergeant as the action rank, preserves U.S. Colored Infantry beside inherited U.S. Colored Troops wording, and replaces the unrelated Chapin Street geocoder result with Chapin's Farm.
