Being a monumental event in the Texas Revolution, The Battle of the Alamo was a thirteen-day battle at the Alamo Mission near San Antonio. In the early morning of the final battle, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. Quickly being overrun, the Texian Soldiers quickly withdrew inside the building. The battle has often been overshadowed by events from the Mexican–American War, But the Alamo gradually became known as a national battle site and later named an official Texas State Shrine.

English: habitational name from Leppingwells in Essex, which is recorded as Leffingwelles in 1561 and owed its name to the possessions there of the family of Robert de Leffeldewelle (1302), who is called Leffingwell in an Elizabethan transcript of the Court Rolls.
History: The family, called Leffingwell in the 15th century and Leppingwell in the 16th, took its name from a lost place recorded as Liffildeuuella in 1086 (from the Old English personal name Lēofhild + Old English wella ‘well, spring, stream’), which may survive in a corrupt form in Levit's Corner in Pebmarsh (Essex), into which their possessions extended.
