A while back I started looking into my family history. On my mother's side I've got back to 1020 as the De Ashford family of Devon. There's only one ancestor of note, a nutter called John Tom in the early 1800's who claimed to be King of Jerusalem amongst other things. He led a group of followers around the country 'giving' them land at random and eventually met the army, led a riot, shot an army officer and was shot himself. His followers believed he would rise again, but he seems not to have. http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/CORNISH/2004-06/1086103016
