Biography:
These "grandchildren" are either Lucas' grandchildren, or his great-grandchildren by a daughter other than Nat - the narrative's phrasing, "he had one daughter with grandchildren," is ambiguous (214). Neither the daughter nor the grandchildren appear, and no other details about them, or about Lucas' larger family, are given in this short story. (When Faulkner revised the story into the "Fire and the Hearth" chapter of Go Down, Moses, the phrase "one daughter with grandchildren" was omitted.)
