Mary Jane, The map of Pico is here. St. Mathew's is an English translation. I'm going to let you look at the map and see if you can figure it out: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/maps-churches-and-villages/pico.html
Assuming "Rose" was born on Pico, look for a Rosa (or maybe Maria) born around her birthdate to parents named Manoel Silva (or Sylva) and Anna Maria (I'm guessing that's a typo you made). Only then will you be able to confirm or deny the family lore of Bettencourt.
