McCaslin Family Tree

Here as promised is the McCaslin family tree. Note that not all of these family members are portrayed in "The Bear." The others come up in the remaining stories in Go Down! Moses. This family tree was created by Dr. John B. Padgett and is from the following website:  http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/faulkner/gen-mccaslin.html

I can't vouch for every detail, but it seems legit. One other point: the McCaslin that is portrayed conversing with Ike in Section 4 is Carothers McCaslin "Cass" Edmonds. The old patriarch who had sex (probably raped) both his slave and their daughter in Lucius Quintus Carothers McCaslin. He had been dead a long time, and the family was waiting for Isaac "Ike" McCaslin to come of age before the estate was bequeathed to him. Ike was the rightful heir because he was a direct descendant through the male side of the family by way of Theophilius "Uncle Buck," but Cass had been in charge in his stead until Ike came of age.
