I don't have any good proof that Orpha and Orson were children of Adolphus and Sarah, but I believe it is true. The mother Sarah died on Oct. 10, 1883, so we can guess that the problems of giving birth to twins contributed to her death, then the twins followed shortly after. Also, the presence of the other children of Adolphus and Sarah at Jewett Cemetery, along with Sarah, and the fact that those are the only Morgan babies at Jewett, really imply to me that they were in this family.

However, I could also believe that Orpha and Orson belong to Icilius and Diana, since they are said to have twins who were born and died in 1873. Perhaps someone got the decade wrong there.
