    Age 1

    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 (mainly Yorkshire): variant of Kilham, a habitational name from any of the places in Northumberland and Yorkshire, so named either from Old English cylnum ‘(at) the kilns’, dative plural of cyln, or from Old English cyln ‘kiln’ or the personal name Cylla + Old Norse holmr ‘small island, water meadow’. This surname is rare in Britain.
