Biography: 

In the Yoknapatawpha fictions as a group, the Benbows are among the county's oldest and most prominent families, but this novel's reference to Judge Benbow's son is "Percy" Benbow's only appearance (172). Chronologically it is possible that Percy is brother of Will Benbow, the Benbow who is the father of Horace and Narcissa Benbow, major figures in Flags in the Dust (1929) and Sanctuary (1931), but that is speculation.
