After referring to the "incoming Snopeses" as a group, the narrator singles out one to individualize: "there was one, an invalid of some sort, who operated a second-hand peanut parcher" (167). A "parcher" is a pushcart for roasting and selling peanuts on the street. (It's possible that in Faulkner's imagination this is the Snopes who appears in later fictions as Eck; Eck has been badly and permanently injured in an accident in Frenchman's Bend before he follows Flem into Jefferson.)
At noon in Rogers' grocery and restaurant are two different groups of people: there are "a number of customers" in the grocery, not otherwise described, and in the restaurant "a number of men and a woman or so, mostly country people" (119).
It is noon when Bayard goes into Rogers' restaurant with Rafe and begins drinking and talking about the First World War, and three o'clock when they go back outside. At noon they are passed by "small groups [of] children going home from school" for lunch and three hours later they again "walk among school children" going home at the end of the school day (119, 126). These children are described as "little girls with colored boxes and skipping ropes" and "boys in various stages of deshabille" (119).
Colonel Sartoris' wife and (Old) Bayard's mother is a very elusive figure. In this novel she only appears in Simon's account of Bayard's birth, when he describes the slaves from the quarters coming up to the big house to wish "Mistis en de little marster well" (392). In The Unvanquished John marries his cousin Drusilla Hawk some years after the Civil War, but that novel does not shed any more light on the identity of his first wife.
Simon Strother, who was born a slave just before the Civil War began, provides the novel's only depiction of the enslaved men and women who "belonged" to the Sartoris family. It occurs when he happily tells Dr. Peabody how the birth of Bayard and Narcissa's son will bring back "de olden times" (391). As his example of those times, he describes "de niggers fum de quawtuhs gethered on de front lawn, wishin' Mistis en de little marster well" when his "Mars' John's" son Bayard was born in 1849 (392).
