Biography: 

This enslaved man - one of the two men for whom Sam "Had-Two-Fathers" is named - was already married to the woman whom Crawfish-ford covets when they arrived at the Indian plantation from New Orleans (345). He tries in several different ways to prevent Crawfish-ford from claiming his wife, and finally gets Doom to help him in that quest. When nine months later his wife gives birth to his child, he proudly asks "What do you think about this for color?" (359).
