Sam Fathers relates that he and his "mammy" (mother) were purchased as slaves by Quentin's "great-grandpappy" (344). The story says nothing more about this Compson, not even his name. But in the "Appendix" to The Sound and the Fury that Faulkner wrote in 1945, Quentin's great-grandfather Compson is listed as Quentin MacLachan Compson II.
