Census Sunday – Benjamin Hill Brumfield in MS

I have Christopher W Vinson from FL, my 4^th cousin 1x removed, to thank for giving me some information on our joint Brumfield family. He gave me some basics on this branch of the family and from there I did some searching on Ancestry.com. I was able to find these two census reports:
