Hi, Would you know of a cemetery for Pedro? My great great grandmother was Purity (Davidson) Rogers. We have been told that she is buried in a cemetery out of Siloam Springs. This Pedro sounds like a good chance of being the place where the cemetery might be. She was born in NC in 1800. She was married to Dean Rogers who was born in NH in 1786. Their children were born in Rutherford, TN. Some of them settled in Stone Co., MO, others in Lawerence and Barry Co., MO. Their children were: 1. Zelphia Rogers who was born 1829, Readyville, Rutherford Co., TN and died about 1910. She married Lewis Davidson 07 Aug. 1845 in Rutherford, Co., TN.
