Biography: 

The De Spains are an old Yoknapatawpha family; Chick notes that Major de Spain "had been his grandfather's cousin" (91). There are at least two "Major de Spain"s in the Yoknapatawpha fictions; this is presumably the older one, who actually served as a Major in the Confederate army. Chick thinks of him and the other men his grandfather told him about, the hunters who pursued "deer and bear and wild turkey . . . within twelve miles of Jefferson" (90), as he is about to set out on his own adventure just beyond the Nine-Mile Branch.
