 While Thistlewood and other overseers and white employees chose their sexual victims from slave women, many white enslavers in Jamaica kept mulatto "free coloured" women as mistresses, such as Dorrill and his mistress Elizabeth Anderson.However, while white enslavers had the benefits of a white wife and a mulatto mistress, they often raped and sexually assaulted black enslaved.White men such as Cope and Thistlewood even raped slave women who had regular male slave partners.
