Biography: 

Lucius Priest tells his grandson (also named Lucius Priest) that when their common ancestor Lucius McCaslin came to Mississippi in 1813, he brought "his slaves and foxhounds" with him "across the mountains from Carolina" (61). Presumably one of these enslaved people is the grandmother of Ned McCaslin, who has her own Character entry; otherwise The Reivers says nothing more about these people. More about some of them, at least, can be found in Faulkner's earlier novel, Go Down, Moses.
