I believe she is probably from the south!. I have a doll of her, that is dated from 1909! :DWww@FoodAQ@Com

The direct inspiration for Aunt Jemima originates from a minstrelsy/vaudeville song of the same name!. Chris L!. Rutt of the Pearl Milling Company saw the song being sung by blackface performers Baker & Farrell wearing an apron and kerchief, and appropriated the character!.[2]

She is depicted as a plump, smiling, bright-eyed, African-American woman, originally wearing a kerchief over her hair!. She was represented as a slave and was the most commonplace representation of the stereotypical "mammy" character!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I honestly have no idea, but obviously she was a woman who loved to make or eat pancakes and syrup! (:Www@FoodAQ@Com
