In this situation (which I run across pretty often) I don't use AKA because the person didn't really go by that name (the actual record shows the correct spelling), it was just indexed wrong by Ancestry.com. I submit a correction to Ancestry so it can be found under the correct spelling in the future and document my source in Legacy using the name on the actual record.
