Need information on my gr. grandmother, Cora Bales, born 27 Nov 1874 in Ray or Caldwell county Missouri. Parents were Pleasant M. Bales and ??? Peterie/Petre. Her mother died not long after she was born and she was sent to live with grandmother in Kansas.

I believe her grandmother may have been Melissa Peterie/Petre who moved to Stafford County KS approximately 1880 after her husband, Robert, passed away in Caldwell County Missouri. She lived with her son, John Andrew Peterie/Petre in Hays Township, Stafford County, and is listed with him and his family in the state census of 1885.

I can not seem to verify this one way or the other, and would very much appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
