Margaret Tudor: A Romance of Old St. Augustine

About the author
Annie T. Colcock, also known as Annie Toomer Colcock, was born on October 6, 1871, and died on August 3, 1923. Available records place her burial at Stoney Creek Cemetery in Sheldon, South Carolina.
She is known for the historical novel Margaret Tudor: A Romance of Old St. Augustine, published in 1901, and Her American Daughter, published in 1905. The first is closely associated with early St. Augustine and helped preserve her name as a writer of regional historical fiction.
Reliable biographical detail about her life appears to be limited in the sources readily available online, so much of her story survives through her books rather than extensive personal records. She is also listed in some art-reference sources, but the clearest documented legacy available here is her work as an author.
