1836 · Remember the Alamo
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: locative name from Middle English cokshote, cokshete, cokshute ‘place where woodcocks dart’. Nets were stretched in such places to catch the birds for the food table, so the surname may have belonged to someone who trapped woodcocks for the lord of the manor. Cockshutt, Cockshoot, etc. appear as minor place-names and field names in many counties, but the modern surname is primarily from Lancs. According to McKinley, an early bearer of the surname is recorded at Ightenhill, near Padiham (Lancs) in the 14th century. The Lancs surname probably migrated to the Skipton area of WR Yorks by the 16th century ( Redmonds, Dictionary of Yorks Surnames ). It is sometimes pronounced Coeshot.
