I don't have specifics on your Orpha but, since it's such an unusual name, thought she might have some connection to the Orpha mentioned in my uncle's geneology notes.Our Orpha was the widow of Richard Aldrich who fought at Bunker Hill.He was the son of Andrew Aldrich born in Smithfield,RI in 1734. My family line stems from Richard's brother, Andrew H. There were eight children in all.
Richard was born in 1760 in Smithfield and died March 16,1829, in East Lebanon,NH.His wife Orpha Buffum was born in l769.They married March 24,1785 in Lebanon.
Would love to hear from you if there is a connection.Am hoping to fill in some of the blanks.
