US passports don't include long-discarded prior names used unless a passport holder requested and received an amendment/endorsement to have such, and even then it's not generally done. And generally there is no indication of name change on the passport.

I am not sure what all of the current standard is for US passports with regard to place of birth, but for a long time it was standard to refuse any request to have no place of birth listed. Some US citizens have no known birth place and some don't even have a known birthdate, but as I haven't run into a need previously to run this by counsel ever before I don't know what is done for that currently.
