Toomer Genealogical Charts These three genealogical charts will help the reader untangle Jean Toomer’s complicated family history. The first maps Toomer’s ancestry, beginning with his maternal grandfather, P. B. S. Pinchback. The second outlines the three marriages of Nathan Toomer, Jean Toomer’s father. The third sets forth the family tree of Nathan Toomer’s second wife, Amanda America Dickson, said to be in 1891 “the wealthiest colored woman in the world.” The Toomer Genealogy and the African American Dickson Genealogy are reproduced with permission from Virginia Kent Anderson Leslie, Woman of Color, Daughter of Privilege: Amanda America Dickson, 1849–1893 (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1995), 148 and 147.
