Some family tree"s postulate his father was "Judge"James Ewell Brown,
mother Maria Crocket,James E. Brown married Maria Crockett Sept 22 1818 Wythe Virginia.If William A Brown born abt 1833,Would have been 15 years after they married.James Ewell died Nov 2 1852 Wythe Virginia.
Unfortunate but gives no childrens names except a possible son Alexander Stuart Brown 1831-1859. No proof he was father of William Alexander Brown.
