Adopted? Child — born in TN:

1. John Heck CUPP [John HECK?], b. 1865; d. 1931

John was born two years before our subjects married. Was he Marticia's child born out of wedlock? She shows a total of 12 children with 10 living in 1900, which would jibe with John being hers, which doesn't mean John Orville fathered all 12. She was having a child every two years, up to her last child at the age of 40.

Lavina is Orville's widowed mother. John was born two years before our subjects married. So, is he really Orville's son?

Francis is male, and Martish is too old to be his mother — note also the 11-year gap between Alfred and Francis and that he's called "grandson" in 1910. Mary is being shown with one child living, so it appears Francis is her son, born out of wedlock.
