Unnamed Slaves of Sartorises

There is no evidence how many enslaved people lived and worked at the Sartoris Plantation. There may have been other slaves who worked on the plantation in addition to the ones that are named, but the novel's only explicit reference to them is made as the "negroes" who called John Sartoris' room the office (15), which is where they would face the patroller "and swear that they could not possibly have been either who or where he (the Patroller) said they were" (16). Ab Snopes may also be referring to this larger group while pleading his case to Bayard later in the novel: he claims then that Rosa Millard's death came as a result of what he and Rosa were doing "for [Bayard's] sake and his paw and them niggers" (174).
