Schoolteacher Letty Bookright married Zack Houston with her father's reluctant consent. Less than a year after their marriage, Letty was killed by Houston's prized stallion (82).
The first Snopes in Jefferson was Mink, one of Flem's many relatives, who "spent two and a half months in the Jefferson jail on his way to his permanent residence in the penitentiary at Parchman for killing Zack Houston" (82). He becomes a major figure in the final volume of the Snopes trilogy.
Sally Priest's husband, Maurice, fights with Grenier Weddel and blacks one of his eyes for sending his wife "not just what Father called a standard panic-size corsage, but a triple one" (81). Then, at home, Maurice Priest blackens his wife's eye. (The Maury Priest who appears in The Reivers is apparently a different character.)
The famous band leader and composer "from Beale Street in Memphis" W.C. Handy provides the music for the Cotillion Ball (76). The novel calls him "Professor Handy" (76); another title for him, the one he gave himself, was 'Father of the Blues."
The Jefferson couples who receive invitations to the Cotillion Dance represent the most socially approved people in town. Charles describes their appearance as "crimped and frizzed in scarves and earrings and perfume and long white gloves like Mother or in claw-hammer coats and boiled shirts and white ties and yesterday's haircuts like Father and Uncle Gavin" (75-76). Many were reluctant to include Eula and Flem Snopes on the list of invitees; during the ball, they are described as aghast at the way Manfred de Spain and Eula Varner Snopes dance together with "splendid unshame" (79).
A surviving descendant of one of Jefferson's founders, Eunice Habersham drives the "home-made truck that she peddled vegetables from" for the florist (74). She delivers Manfred de Spain's "corsage" to Gavin Stevens, along with another four for Maggie. (She plays much more important roles in both Intruder in the Dust and (as Belle Worsham) in Go Down, Moses.)
Sally Priest, an abused married woman, receives a corsage from Grenier Weddel and a black eye from her husband. According to Gowan Stevens' account, "you would even have thought she was proud of it" (81); according to Ratliff's, "she was" (82). Her maiden name, "Sally Hampton" (80), suggests she is related to the Hamptons who are county sheriffs in other fictions, but if Faulkner imagined her in that relation, the text gives no hint of it.
Weddel is pursuing Sally Priest, a married woman, and sends her a corsage before the Cotillion ball. His first name, Grenier, comes from one of the founding Yoknapatawpha families - but the novel says nothing about a genealogical connection to that family.
