Original Title: TIL Elizabeth Greenhill (1615-1679) and her husband William Greenhill had 39 children together (32 daughters & 7 sons). All were single births save one set of twins, which is unusual as the most common cause of such a large number of children, hyperovulation, typically manifests as multiple births.
