Wes, you're the profile manager. Simply edit the last name at birth.

Answer 1

Edit the profile, and as long as you are manager or on the trusted list, you should see a hyperlink that says "Edit" next to "Last name at birth"; clicking that link will allow you to correct the surname (which merges the incorrect profile into a new profile with the proper LNAB).

Answer 2

Wes, I fixed the profile. There shouldn't have been an "I" in the LNAB field. Also, as this is a pre-1700 profile, it needs a reliable source added ASAP. Per WikiTree guidelines, "You must never create a pre-1700 profile without citing a reliable source. See: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources.
