Boots

Surely the daughter of the daughter of the River Daughter and a Bombadil to boot would be a Brandybuck.
Quote:
'And no wonder they're queer!' put in Daddy Twofoot (the Gaffer's next-door neighbour), 'if they live on the wrong side of the Brandwine River, and right agin the Old Forest. That's a dark bad place, if half the tales be true.'

'You're right, Dad!' said the Gaffer. 'Not that the Brandybucks of Buckland live in the Old Forest; but they're a queer breed, seemingly. They fool about with boats on that big river-and that isn't natural.'
Hmm. Might there have been a bit of Stoor mixed in with the Fallohide in the case of the Brandybucks?
