Snopes's Livestock Pen in "Vendee" (Location)
Biography: 

Describing the hidden pen that Ab Snopes built, Bayard says it is "like the one Ringo and Yance and I had built at home" (100). This is the only time anyone called "Yance" appears in the fictions, and it seems likely that Faulkner meant Joby or Loosh, both of whom work on the pen in earlier stories in the series. (When he reprinted this story as a chapter in The Unvanquished, he changed the name "Yance" to "Joby.")
