How can I replace Unknown maiden surname with Correct One

I have a primary source (1850 land sale of her "maiden property") that Elizabeth Unknown McColley's maiden name was Sharp, daughter of John Sharp of Sussex County, Delaware. Can I fix her name or is that up to her profile manager?

You have to be on the trusted list to edit the LNAB. You can contact the profile manager and either ask to be put on the trusted listed to make the necessary changes or ask her to do it. You need a good source to do this.
Once you are on the trusted list (or if you are the profile manager), you will see a link to edit the LNAB in the edit mode. It is simple to follow the instructions once you get to that point. Good luck!
