San Pedro De Macoris is in the db, I think you just misspelled it above. Or maybe it's misspelled in Cano's db entry, I'll check.

There's a long explanation of why The Bronx, Staten Island and Queens are not in the db (Mostly related to the naming of new teams in fictional leagues), but suffice to say that it's an intentional decision. There are good reasons both to have them in and to leave them out, and it's a tough choice.

Penacook, NH likely won't be in the db, as it is neither a current city nor a census designated place. Given that is is Rolfe's listed birthplace though, we might make an exception and add it in. I'll have to see after doing some more research.

Overall, just to add a note/update, I'm working on totally revamping the US cities in the world db. Right now, basically we have all cities listed at 1000 population or more based on 2008 or 2009ish numbers in the db. A handful of other cities have been manually added, but I'm working on going through the db and systematically adding in all towns and CDP's in the US that are missing.

It's a big project though and honestly not a major priority compared to other things that need to be done, so it will take some time.

It's more an OOTP22 thing to be realistic, but it is being worked on.
