Mayna, KPSaunders is buried in the Stoneham Cemetery in Stoneham Texas;Stoneham is located about 8-10 miles east of Navasota Texas on Hwy 105 it is on a hill on the North side of the hwy.There is a Saunders family site there with most of the old timers of the family. I have no clue when he came to Texas but my grandmother says that he had a plantation of sorts andowned quiet a few slaves. When the civil war was over they had to sell peices off to pay the taxes and without slaves the place fell into ruin.If you can make a connection let me know! Thanks Kurt
