Brown's grandfather, the first William Denis Brown was born in 1876 in Terrebonne Parish in South Louisiana, where he managed a sugar plantation. He came to East Carroll Parish at the invitation of an uncle, who was a levee contractor. Brown, I, married into an East Carroll plantation family and founded Providence Drug Company in the parish seat of Lake Providence. In 1907, he purchased Gossypia Plantation. In 1932, he became president of the First National Bank of Lake Providence, by which time he owned ten thousand acres of land.〔Frederick W. Williamson and George T. Goodman, eds. ''Eastern Louisiana: A History of the Watershed of the Ouachita River and the Florida Parishes'', 3 vols. (Monroe: Historical Record Association, 1939), pp. 686-87〕
Brown, III, was born in a hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi, but reared at Panola Plantation, the northern East Carroll Parish farm of his parents, Denis, II, and Martha Brown. He considered Lake Providence to be his hometown. As a child, he was involved in many activities on the plantation and in town. The plantation, located on a small railroad crossing along U.S. Highway 65 North was worked by tenant farmers and during part of World War II German prisoners of war. In 1948, Brown graduated as the valedictorian of Lake Providence High School, where he had also played for the Panthers football team. At the age of seventeen, he left Lake Providence by train to attend a post-graduate year at the since defunct Kentucky Military Institute in Lyndon, Kentucky.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Denis Brown, III )〕

He was a member of Kappa Alpha Order, Phi Kappa Phi, the Order of the Coif and the editorial board of ''Louisiana Law Review.'' Immediately after law school, Brown entered the United States Army as an officer through LSU Reserve Officers Training Corps. He was assigned to the Judge advocate's office at Fort Benning, Georgia.〔
