No, I had to look it up once for a skit I was writing for a kids' Sunday school curriculum. A puppet character mistakenly believes that at the time of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, there was a woman on hand who distributed water much like Molly Pitcher... a woman referred to as "Hose Anna."
The teacher sets that character straight, though it's probably too late for me. =]
