About Me

"If you knew the wealth of my soul's love for you, you would not ask for more." - Fanny Chamberlain in a letter to her husband, 1857.

My name is Jessica Jewett and I live part-time in Tennessee and part-time in Georgia, but from 1825 - 1905, my name was Fanny Chamberlain and I lived in Brunswick, Maine. Since I was a toddler, I have had dreams and flashbacks of a life that is not the one I'm living now. Over the years I came to know a separate family underneath the surface of my consciousness. I knew this woman from the inside out -- I knew her thoughts, her feelings, her secret desires, the people in her life, etc. -- but I never got to see her until I was in the third grade when I (in her body) stood in front of a mirror in a dream, yet I never got her whole name. It was terribly frightening for many years and I never told a soul. I was ashamed. I thought I was crazy.

In 1999, a woman by the name of Diane Monroe Smith published a book called Fanny & Joshua, and I happened upon this book in a Borders bookstore in northwest Georgia. As I looked at the woman pictured on the cover, Fanny Chamberlain, my world spun, I got dizzy and my chest constricted. I was looking at the woman in my dreams. I was looking at myself. The blinding light of Fanny's picture right in front of me still did not convince me that reincarnation was in the realm of possibility and I continued to surpress my flashbacks for another three years. It wasn't until the spring of 2002 when I finally gave up and said, "All right, this is my reality. I have to deal with it."

With the support of close friends like Jeffrey Keene, author of Someone Else's Yesterday, and many others in the reincarnationist community, I have taken my story public in the last few years with the hope of helping others who struggle to come to grips with previous lives. Since 2002, I have compiled about 200-300 pages of recorded memories, dreams, parallel expieriences and feelings on Fanny Chamberlain as I know her, which I am now compiling and editing into a book. There are a lot of misconceptions about Fanny and her husband, Civil War Union General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, in addition to the misconceptions about reincarnation and other paranormal occurrences.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet other reincarnationists, reenactors, history enthusiasts, paranormal investigators and anybody open to exploring the spirit. Someday I know I will meet my Lawrence again, though the wait is long and extremely difficult.

Music:

I sing constantly and I find country to be closest to my (and Fanny's) vocal style. Fanny was a singer and musician and spent most of her teens and 20s devoted to the stage. Now I find myself shy of singing in front of people but I haven't lost the compulsion to listen to music and sing every day.

Movies:

Gettysburg and Gods & Generals, of course, though I feel it was a poor choice to have a blonde, blue-eyed actress portray me. She sounded more like an Englishwoman than a Mainer! I also like Cold Mountain, Tombstone, The Last Confederate, Gone with the Wind, Sense and Sensibility, The Day Lincoln Was Shot, The Hunley, Andersonville.... pretty much anything historical.

Television:

I don't really watch television. It's nothing but trashy reality shows and toothpick women trying to get their 15 minutes. If I watch anything, it's the History Channel.

Books:

Someone Else's Yesterday by Jeffrey Keene, Fanny & Joshua by Diane Monroe Smith. Authors I read regularly are Louisa May Alcott, Kate Chopin, Jane Austen, Emerson, Dickens, Whitman, Anne Rice, and of course Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.

Heroes:

The brave boys of the Army of the Potomac who gave their lives for their country. Of course my former husband is my hero.
