The most interesting ancestor I have come across so far is the notorious James BLACKMAN who was a smuggler as well as being an innkeeper at Hooe.
James was baptised at Hooe on 8 March 1707. He was the second son of the third marriage of John BLACKMAN, my five times great-grandfather. So, whilst not being my direct ancestor, he is still a member of my mother's BLACKMAN fatuity. Anyway, he grew up and became landlord of the Red Lion at Hooe and appears in the Land Tax Assessments there in 1733. The neamess of Hooe to the sea, together with its remoteness, made the area perfect for smuggling.
