Wikipedia, viewed Nov. 20, 2009 under Janet Horne (Janet Horne, (d. 1727), Scottish alleged witch; "Janet (or Jenny) Horne was also a generic name for witches in the north of Scotland at the time and this makes it difficult to determine what the real name of this woman may have been. Contemporary writers may have called her Janet Horne simply because her real name was unknown to them or because the name was reported to them as Janet Horne and they were unaware that this was a generic name)
