Quoting from Wikepedia:
Clarissa MacDougall. She is a beautiful, curvaceous, red-haired nurse, who eventually becomes the first human female to receive her own Lens. Their children, a boy and two pairs of fraternal twin sisters, grow up to be the five Children of the Lens. In their breeding, "almost every strain of weakness in humanity is finally removed". They are born already possessing the powers taught to second-stage Lensmen.

 Could you provide a specific page? I'd like to edit it to fix (at least)
the way that Clarrissa's name was spelled in the books. I'm also skeptical
of the idea that Kay/Kat and Cam/Con were fraternal rather than identical.
 

Here you go:

The info above is in a paragraph in the "Plot" section that starts with the phrase "As the breeding program nears its conclusion ...", about 5 paragraphs before the start of the "Publication History" section.
There's also similar (and additional) info about the children at:
