1871–1923
Best known for a historical romance set in 17th-century St. Augustine, this South Carolina writer left behind a small but distinctive body of work. Her surviving record is fragmentary, which gives her books an added air of rediscovery.

by Annie T. (Annie Toomer) Colcock
Annie T. Colcock, also listed as Annie Toomer Colcock, was an American writer born in 1871 and died in 1923. Available records connect her with South Carolina, and public-domain catalogs preserve her name through Margaret Tudor: A Romance of Old St. Augustine, published in 1901.
That novel is a work of historical fiction set in the colonial Southeast. Contemporary catalog notes describe it as a story built from a brief historical account of a young English woman captured near Santa Catalina Island and held in San Augustin in 1670, showing Colcock's interest in regional history and dramatic storytelling.
Some art-reference sites also list Annie Toomer Colcock as an artist, suggesting creative work beyond writing, though the easily confirmed details are limited. Because so little biographical information is widely available today, her reputation now rests mainly on the survival of her fiction and the glimpse it offers into early 20th-century historical romance.
