Dido Elizabeth Belle (1760s-1804) was the illegitimate daughter of Captain John Lindsay of the Royal Navy and Maria Belle, a slave of African origin. Lindsay and Belle met in the West Indies. Lindsay is thought to have found Maria Belle on a Spanish slave ship that his forces captured in the Caribbean, later taking her as his wife under the system of plaçage, wherein European men entered into civil unions with African women. Dido Belle spent part of her childhood in Pensacola in Spanish Florida, where Captain Lindsay was stationed from 1764 to 1765. Afterward, Lindsay brought Dido to England to stay with his uncle, William Murray, the first Earl of Mansfield, and Murray’s wife. The couple was childless, already raising Elizabeth Murray, their great niece, and took Dido into their household, presumably as a companion for Elizabeth. She was baptized in St. George’s Church, the parish church of Lord Mansfield’s house in Bloomsbury Square, in London on November 20, 1766, at the age of five.
