Summary: 

James, the oldest son of Tomey's Turl, quits the plantation and leaves Mississippi on the eve of his 21st birthday; Ike tries to find where he's gone, to give him his share of the legacy, but cannot. (Ike hears about this "in town," but chronologically, the date of James' flight, 29 December 1885, cannot be reconciled with the date when Ike moves into Jefferson - October 1888.)
