ANSWER

I have tried to contact Brian Goff, but can't seem to make contact - emails remain unanswered. I don't know anything about Anna's family. I think the Flushing NY person is far more likel;y to be onour family tree than the perosn from Tennessee. I'm afraid this part of the family is terra incognita for me.
