Research Notes

Anne's surname and parentage remain uncertain.[11] [12] Although some genealogists have attempted to link her with the Howe family based on a deed which mentions the house of John Adams being "last inhabited by William Howe, a weaver,"[13] recent scholarship has shown that Howe was a contemporary of John and Anne's and so could not have been her father.[14] Her surname has consequently been changed to 'unknown' and James Howe and Anna Brataff have been detached as her parents until such time as that relationship can be documented. Stevens-17832 21:46, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

comment.M ColeIt looks like there is no evidence that Anne's last name was Howe. Any objections to changing LNAB to unknown and disconnecting from these parents?
See comments from husband John Adam's profile:
"This article says Anne (___) and mentions it seems to have been inferred by a deed that the house of John Adams, last inhabited by William Howe and got carried on.
