The South Carolina newborn broke records when she made her entrance into the world on June 25, as her birth marked the first female born into her family in 137 years.

"My father actually did some homework when we found out it was a girl," Will Settle said. "He started to think back, 'You know my father didn't have any sisters, my grandfather may of had some sisters...' and started to kind of move further back and found out there hasn't been one in that long."
