Biography: 

Colonel Sartoris' first wife and Old Bayard's mother apparently died during Bayard's childbirth (1849). She is never given a first name, but she is related to the Hawk family from Alabama; in "Skirmish at Sartoris," she is mentioned only when Drusilla Hawk says to Aunt Louisa, "I am just another mouth to feed, just a cousin of John's wife" (68).
