Biography: 

This is the younger of the novel's two Turpins. Like the older one, he is associated with Frenchman's Bend, where he lives in the hill country. Gavin Stevens recalls that he failed to "answer his draft call" during World War II (459). He is presumably related to the older Turpin, and perhaps to the Turpin family that appears in Flags in the Dust at the earlier end of Faulkner's career, but The Mansion does not say how.
