Summary: 

Because Buck stopped writing in the ledgers in 1869, and was dead by 1874, the narrator creates an imaginary ledger entry for Lucas Quintus Carothers McCaslin Beauchamp, born March 17, 1874. The passage goes on to anticipate the way Lucas will try to live, "selfprogenitive" and "by himself ancestored," as "Old Carothers himself was" (268).
