Biddy Mason Bridget "Biddy" Mason (August 15, 1818 - January 15, 1891) was an African-American nurse and a Californian real-estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. The location of her birth is not known.〔 ==Early life== Biddy Mason was born a slave on August 15, 1818 probably in Georgia but it may have been in Mississippi, and given the name of "Bridget" with no surname. She was given to Robert Smith and his bride as a wedding present. After the marriage, Smith took his new wife and slaves to Mississippi. Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) proselytized in Mississippi. They taught Smith and his wealthy family and they converted. Slaves were not baptized in the church as a matter of policy. Members were encouraged to free their slaves, but Smith chose not to do so.
