The first claimant with which I am familiar is Zerubbabel who came with Ezra and Nehemiah to Ancient Israel from Babylon in roughly 530 B.C.E.. The three leaders tried to rebuild Ancient Israel as a satrap of the Persian Empire with the blessings of King Cyrus the Great. While Ezra was a High Priest and Nehemiah was a Prophet, Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jeconiah, one of the last kings of Judah and a descendant of King David.
He was ultimately disproved as the Messiah when he died a normal death.

Who is the waiting messiah and Can messiah be a woman?
The idea of 'maschiach' (which means 'anointed') originated in Judaism. The Jewish Maschiach will be a normal, human man; he must fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before he dies. Christianity took the concept, changed it, and declared that Jesus was the 'messiah'. As he does not fulfill any of the Jewish criteria for 'maschiach', though, he is not the Jewish messiah. The Jewish messiah is likely to be a man, but there are some Jews who argue that it could be a woman. There is a belief that in every generation, a potential messiah is born. But Jews do not actively 'wait' for their messiah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
