Can anyone identify the parents of Almira Harriet Niles [aka Mrs. Orpheus Razey] of Cattaragus Co., NY?

1850 Census, Great Valley, Cattaraugus Co., NY, p. 150B, Dwelling & Family #87, enumerated 25 Jul 1850:

Thomas Lawton, 35, Farmer
S K Niles, 31, Farmer
--- Harriet C, 25
--- Harriet A, 5

All probably born New York; census taker reported out-of-state POBs but only NY when necessary.

Also on p.p. 150A-150B, household of Ezra, 76, & Jerusha, 75, MA; George, 34, NY; Martha, 33 MA; and Alonzo, 8, PA.

--- Margarett, 36, House Work, New York

Indexed as Saris; as spelled by enumerator sounds like Cyrus.

By 1870 only George, Martha & Alonzo remained in Great Valley [at least according to A.C's index]. "Mira" Rasey [sic], 25, and Orpheus, 28, had set up housekeeping in Mansfield Township.

To whom did S. K. belong, where did he come from, where dd he go and, most importantly, what was his name? Any assistance will be appreciated.
