Peaches was actually a commonly used nickname for ANGRY BLACK WOMEN. I think Nina chracterises this well you can telll, the tone of the song does seem a bit 'angrier' now that I think about it. It also inspired a play I think.
I don't believe so. I researched it and did not find that. I found that it was often a southern nickname for African slave women (a nickname chosen by them...perhaps due to the peaches grown in Georgia, but who know?). Simone picked the name to use to represent the darkest skinned woman in her song...the angry former slave, but I believe the name itself "peaches" does not stem from anything or anyone in history.
