Not able to find exactly what you're looking for but...

According to ancient western myth the seventh son of the seventh son
or the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter is said to possess
supernatural powers. You'll find this mentioned in several places in
the Bible, but the legend dates back to prehistoric times, and is
known across many cultures and religions. Seven also represents the
thinker, the seeker of truth, someone who is always in search of answers.

Other Mythologies indicate the Seventh Son is doomed to Vampirism,
Werewolfism, while the 7th daughter would be a Witch. If I recall
correctly Dracul was a 7th son of a 7th son.

The seventh son of the seventh son was said to have enhanced psychic
powers and be and advanced dream analyser acording to folklore

In Cornwall, it was believed that the seventh son of a seventh son was
able to touch-cure the disease. The seventh son of a seventh son was
widely believed in the British Isles to have all kinds of powers.
