Sappony Church VA067

supportedunresolved Wilson says all he could gather led him to believe Hampton had not yet appeared; Hampton says his scouts found the enemy's road and he notified the general commanding.

Attributed knowledge from interested reports.

supportedunresolved Hampton says his command had no rest from June 8, was badly supplied with rations and forage and marched upward of 400 miles; Wilson says that in the 81 hours from 3 a.m. on June 28 his command rested not over six hours.

Commanders' statements; no supply return inspected.

supportedunresolved Hampton says he was ordered to intercept Wilson returning to Grant's army; Wilson says he meant to hold the church with his own division while the rest and the train moved by the left toward Reams' Station.

Stated aims from interested commanders.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Confederate victory. Wilson says the night attacks were repulsed three times but that at dawn the enemy broke through Chapman's flank as the rear withdrew; Hampton says he took both lines of works and the enemy retreated in confusion.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The commanders' characterizations differ; not reconciled.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty field reads '1,817 for entire raid' with no numeric value; the live field reads zero. Hampton gives 806 prisoners and 127 slaves captured and his loss as 2 killed, 18 wounded and 2 missing for June 28-30; Wilson gives about 900 for the whole expedition.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Both commanders' figures span more than this record; none is assigned to it.

supportedunresolved Hampton says he suggested placing infantry at Reams' Station, which the general commanding did, sent Butler's and Rosser's brigades under Butler against the flank at daylight, and credits Chambliss; Wilson says McIntosh dismounted and attacked. The frozen commanders are Major General Hampton (CS) and Brigadier Generals Wilson and Kautz (US); the live page gives Hampton as Lieutenant General.

Roles attributed as stated; the live rank is not adopted. No listed commander receives automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field reads 'Divisions' and the live field zero. Wilson believed the only force barring him at Stony Creek was an infantry battalion and a remnant of W. H. F. Lee's cavalry, not over 1,000 men, until prisoners said Hampton's and Fitzhugh Lee's divisions had arrived; Hampton names Chambliss's and Young's brigades and 200 men of the Holcombe Legion.

A pre-contact belief and partial formation lists; no count of either force at the church. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Wilson says the Confederates fell back to a rail breastwork at the church; Hampton says the enemy held a strong position with two lines of works too strong to attack in front.

Works built during the engagement; not tagged. No map verification.
