Bridget Biddy Mason was an African American nurse and midwife who became a significant figure in the fight for civil rights in the 19th century. Born into slavery, she gained her freedom in California and went on to become a successful businesswoman, establishing one of the first African American-owned properties in Los Angeles. Additionally, she was a prominent advocate for the rights of formerly enslaved people, helping to establish schools and churches that served the African American community. Her legacy continues to inspire movements for social justice and equality.

What year did biddy mason become a Mormon?

Biddy Mason was never baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), as far as I am aware. She was the slave of Robert Smith, who converted to Mormonism and moved west with his family and slaves. The Church had a policy at that time of not baptizing slaves, so she was not baptized. After gaining her freedom in California, she spent some time with the family of Amasa Lyman, a Mormon Apostle. In 1872, she was one of the founding members of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles.
