No name is mentioned when Temple tells Ruby that the "gu-governor comes to our house" for dinner (56). The real Governor of Mississippi when Sanctuary was published was Theodore G. Bilbo, an outspoken white supremacist - but it's not necessary to believe that Faulkner intended readers to think of specifically of him. Temple's intention seems to be simply to assert her caste status as a shield.
The youngest of Temple's four brothers in Sanctuary, Hubert is the only one given a name. He is actually given two: Hubert and Buddy. He told Temple "that if he ever caught me with a drunk man, he'd beat the hell out of me" (55). He is a student at Yale, but is there with his brothers at the end of Lee Goodwin's trial as one of the the "four younger men" who move "like soldiers" when they escort Temple out of the courtroom (289).
One of the two brothers of Temple Drake who "are lawyers" (54), and one of the four who appear at the end of Lee Goodwin's trial as the "younger men" who move "like soldiers" when they escort Temple out of the courtroom (289).

One of Temple Drake's brothers is a "newspaper man" (54). But when he finally appears in the narrative, at the end of Lee Goodwin's trial, he is indistinguishable from the other three: one of the "younger men" who move "like soldiers" when they escort Temple out of the courtroom (289).
"My father's a judge," Doc says in "lilting falsetto," doing a bitter imitation of Temple's habit of referring to her family's status (30). This is the first time Judge Drake is mentioned in the novel. When Temple herself first thinks about him, amid the threatening surroundings at the Old Frenchman place, she imagines him "sitting on the porch at home, his feet on the rail" (51). When he finally appears in the story to reclaim her, he has "neat white hair and a clipped moustache like a bar of hammered silver against his dark skin," and is wearing an "immaculate linen suit" (288).
When she thinks of the baseball game in Starkville that she is missing, Temple imagines "the green diamond dotted with players." The description of their playing is unmistakably in Faulkner's words, however, not hers: "encouraging one another with short meaningless cries, plaintive, wary and forlorn" (37).
When she thinks of the college baseball game in Starkville that she is missing, Temple imagines, briefly, "the band, the yawning glitter of the bass horn" (37).
All we know about the men lounging at the Taylor station who watch Temple as she gets off the train is that they are "chewing slowly" (presumably tobacco) and wearing overalls (36).
