Banneker's grandfather was named Banna ka. Scholars believe that he was of a royal family, likely from Senegambia or Mali.

Banneker's father was an ex-slave named Robert, who took the Banna ka name which morphed into what we now know as Banneker.

Banneker's grandmother was a white indentured servant name Molly Welsh from England. She had purchased Banna ka, fell in love with him, and married. This union produced a child named Mary Welsh. Mary Welsh married Robert, and this union produced the mathematical/astronomic genius Benjamin Banneker.

In addition to his mathematical gifts, Banneker is noted for publishing almanacs between 1792 and 1797. He assisted in a small way to the survey of the territory that would become Washington, D.C.

He is noted to have written to then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson showing Jefferson his almanac as "proof" that blacks were intellectually equal to whites. Jefferson was more or less aloof but sent a copy of Banneker's almanac to the head of the Parisian scientific community.
