Pippens, Pippen (s). Connection? I wonder?

Hello, my name is Antonio Pippens. My mother and grandmother's names are Alice Pippens. My Grandmother's mother was Otawee indian and her father was jewish. She was from MS. My grandmother's last name was spelled Pippin (s). We briefly met before her passing away. She explained of an extensive family tree. However the spellings of the many were spelled with Pippen (s). Much of the family is MS, with others being in Conneticut, NC, VG, etc... I have two brothers with their spellings Pippin (s). Maybe no connection at all, but enough to make one wonder. I hope you all find what your looling for.
