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.

Name Meaning

English (Warwickshire): habitational name from a place called Barmore or Barmoor, numerous examples of which are found in Derbyshire, North Yorkshire, and Northumberland, as well as the Scottish regions of Angus, Galloway, and Strathclyde. The modern distribution in Britain however suggests possible derivation from Barnmoor Green in Claverdon, Warwickshire, or from the lost Barre-Moor in Colton, Staffordshire. In Britain, the surname is now rare.
