The seventh child, boy or girl, is said to be born with The Sight, i.e. be able to be fey, experience spirits and even communicate with them, and have the gift of precognition.
In my family, one of my great-grandfathers was born the 7th son of a 7th son which was considered to be very powerful and he did, indeed, have The Sight. That passed down to my grandmother and down also to me as well although I'm not the seventh child.
But I am what many Irish people call a "dark one" or a "fey" one with The Sight.

What does seventh daughter of a seventh daughter mean?
This is a variation of the common folklore concept "the seventh son of the seventh son" below is an excerpt from the Wikipedia article entitled "Seventh son of a seventh son." The seventh son of a seventh son is a concept from folklore regarding special powers given to, or held by, such a son. The seventh son must come from an unbroken line with no female children born between, and be, in turn, born to such a seventh son.[1] The number seven has a long history of mystical and religious associations: seven sleepers, seven-league boots, seven ages of man, seven hills of Rome, seven lucky gods of Japanese mythology, the Seven Sages, seven sisters, seven stars, seven wonders of the world, and so on. In this case, it refers to a man who is the seventh son of a man who is himself a seventh son. In some beliefs, the special powers are inborn, inherited simply by virtue of his birth order; in others the powers are granted to him by God or gods because of his birth order. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son As for the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter it can mean the same.
