I've never seen a maiden name for Alexander's wife before and think it's odd (and perhaps a typo) that her name is listed as the same as Alexander's son, Hugh T. Brown. I also think that the male son and Francis are one and the same. In the 1840 census there are two sons under 5 (Francis and John L.), a son 10-15 (Hugh) and a son 15-20 (James). Although Francis is listed as a female in the 1850 census, he is listed as a son of Margaret Brown's in her probate papers.
