Biography:
Wash Jones' only child is a daughter; she is never named in the novel's narrative, but identified as "Melicent" in the novel's Genealogy (308).
She lives for some time with him in the "abandoned" fishing camp at Sutpen's (99). The daughter she gives birth to there is "fatherless" (139). Rosa tells Quentin that she "heard once" that this woman "died in a Memphis brothel" (139) - a "rumor" which the Genealogy repeats (308).
