Unnamed Granddaughter of Mohataha

In the prose introduction to Act I, the Chickasaw woman who marries Doctor Habersham's son and "emigrates" with him to Oklahoma in the 1830's is identified as "one of Issetibbeha's grand-daughters" (7). In the prose introduction to Act 3, however, the "bride" of Doctor Habersham's son is "Mohataha's grand-daughter" and the daughter of Ikkemotubbe (170). Issetibbeha and Mohataha are siblings, but there is no suggestion of incest, and therefore no explanation for the inconsistency except as a lapse of Faulkner's memory. On the basis of the additional genealogical detail in the second reference to her - that Ikkemotubbe is her father - we identify her grandparent as Mohataha. (On the other hand, in the entry for the wife of Habersham's son in "A Name for the City" in the database, this character is identified as Issetibbeha's granddaughter, and the one reference to her in "A Name for the City" is identical to the reference on page 7 of Requiem.)
