Joanna Southcott (April, 1750 - 27 December 1814), was a self-described religious prophetess born at Gittisham. Her father was a farmer and she herself was a domestic servant in Exeter. She was originally of the Church of England, but about 1792, becoming persuaded that she possessed supernatural gifts, she wrote and dictated prophecies in rhyme, then announced herself as the woman spoken of in the Book of Revelation. Travelling to London she began to seal the 144,000 elect at a charge varying from twelve shillings to a guinea. At the age of 64 she affirmed that she was pregnant and would be delivered of the new Messiah, but Shiloh failed to appear, and it was given out that she was in a trance. She died not long after. Her followers retained her body for some time, believing that she would be raised from the dead. The movement did not end with her death. Her followers, referred to as Southcottians, are said to have numbered over 100,000 but the movement had declined by the end of the 19th century.
