How is this Moses an Anderson when neither of his parents have that surname?

I have a DNA match on Ancestry with this Moses in their tree and they have his father as;

John Anderson
B:
D:1840 Pendleton District, South Carolina

but no mother connected.

Ancestry Hints show the parents of this Moses as:

Father:
John "Anderson" Henderson
Birth 1755 • Bedford, Virginia, United States
Death Feb 1840 • Pendleton, South Carolina, USA

Mother:
Elizabeth Betsy Mann
Birth 1759 • Virginia, United States
Death
Mar 1844 • Boyle, Kentucky, United States

Looking at trees on Ancestry, they indicate that John 'Anderson' Henderson was a biological Anderson.

Regarding the connections here on Geni, someone had previously posted this on Ancestry:

John, the son of Richard Henderson and Elizabeth, married Rachel Thornton. ""Rachel Henderson formerly Thornton" from Cane Creek Quaker Mtg. "Deed by John Henderson and his wife, Rachel Henderson to Ely Henderson" 1800 Edgefield SC. The name Moses does not appear in any record I have found regarding Henderson.

which refutes Moses being the son of the parents connected to him here on Geni v. the ones on Ancestry
