Re:polydactylous - having more than five fingers.

Anne Boylen was alleged to be polydactylous, and to have an extra pink.. as were some of the Steward Kings (and would be Kings)

Jenny Radcliffe, the only daughter of Charles Radcliffe, the last Earl of Derwentwater (a name now corrupted into 'devil's water', near newcastle) in the north of England) was second cousin to Bonny Prince Charles,(wrong side of the blanket!) and, she too had the was polydactylous.

she immigrated to what was then virginia, and later moved to the 'frontier' (near south carolina /west virgina boarder.) --an area today, that is know for a slightly higher incidence of polydactylism! (she did have 8 children that survived to adulthood!)
