Biography:
"Miss Judith" is the only daughter of Thomas Sutpen (541). She lives alone in the big house on the plantation during much of the Civil War, after the deaths of her mother and brother and while her father is away fighting. After the war, she remains with her father, helping Wash Jones put him to bed when he gets drunk and helping Wash's fifteen-year-old granddaughter Milly sew a dress for the wedding that, although it never happens, would have made Milly her step-mother.
