Biography:
The "one Governor" of Mississippi in Jason Compson's ancestry is not named in this novel's brief mention of him (357), but based on other Yoknapatawpha fictions (especially "Appendix Compson") Faulkner is most likely thinking of this "Governor" as Quentin MacLachan Compson II, Jason's great-grandfather.
