I am following my stepsister's paternal line back (her father was Alfred Jack Brown, Jr. (b. Jan 13, 1922 in Copiah Co. - now deceased) and his parents were Alfred Jack Brown, Sr., and Addie Smith. I found this couple, newly married on the 1900 Copiah Co., census. Tracking back, mainly through census data, I believe that this person's father was J. (John?) P. Brown, shown on the 1880 Simpson Co., census, apparently with a second wife and with Alfred in their household.

Going back further, I find John P. Brown (right age to be the same person) with apparently his first wife & family. Next to him was an Alfred Brown of age to be his brother and close to them was an Isham Brown with a Mary A. (who was apparently ANOTHER second wife) born in Georgia.

Does anyone know anything about these families or connect in some way? Thank you. I do have some data (mainly census) to share; mostly, I offer a lot of gratitude on my stepsister's behalf and, perhaps, some newly discovered cousins. Thank you.
