Biography:
This "Negro servant" works for Eunice Habersham, helping her "raise chickens and vegetables and peddle them about town" (74). He and his wife live "in a cabin in the back yard" of the Habersham house (74). Later the narrator adds that he is "Molly's brother and Lucas' brother-in-law" (117), and the son of one of Miss Habersham's grandfather's slaves. We assume this is the same character as Hamp Worsham in Go Down, Moses, who is also Molly's brother although in that novel the woman he works for is named Belle Worsham.
