Draft:Fanny Bright

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ornament of Miss Fanny Bright

Fanny Bright is a character that appears on the 1857 song Jingle Bells by James Pierpoint
Many people over the years have tried to find out if Fanny was a real person or just a name made up by Pierpoint. Many people thout that Fanny Brice was the one cited in the song, but it couldn't be possible since Brice was born on 1891 and the song was written in 1857. The most close match to a real Fanny Brice that lived in Connecticut was Rachel Frances Bright (17 July 1849 – 3 March 1937)[1][2] but it is very difficult to know for sure if she was indeed the miss Fanny Bright cited in the song.
