New to this site. Currently a semi-retired physician living on Maryland's eastern shore (originally from Louisiana). One of my ancestors, Henry Hale Cone, was present at the siege of Bexar. Trying to find information on the siege of bexar descendent society's meeting in Dec. (if it still exists/meets). Any info. would be appreciated.

Oh Michael, we are waiting with pricked up ears for the information you received about the siege of Bejar and your descendent. Hope all is well with you.

I guess this is as good as any to post this. I have met the descendents of three of the key figures in Texas history.
My cousin was married to a descendent of Old Ben Milam, who died when taking San Antonio from the Mexicans. My cousin's husband passed away about two years ago. He was from the Waco area, where there are quite a few Milams living. In fact, one of his nephews' name is Ben Milam.
From Nederland, Tx. there is an attorney named David Bonham, who is related to the Bonham of the Alamo fame. In his office, instead of the usual college diplomas, his office is filled with memorabilia--don't know if it's all replicas or what--of Texas history.
And here in San Diego there is a deputy Public Defender whose name is William Barret Travis.
Being a history buff and student, I was thrilled just to have this connection between the past and present.

Did any of these descendants you met have any interesting information to share, bubba? Sit 'em down and don't let 'em leave without a good story, or two or ten. It's only right.

Seriously, someone has really got to get all of these descendants together and commit to paper all of their family reminicses/history/traditions before they are lost to us forever. It would make a great book.

The Siege of Bexar Descendants organization sort of faded away about 2008, mostly due to health issues with some of the officers. I'm trying to revive it, or to at least regroup and collect the biographies and pictures that were submitted to the organization. The web site for it is: siegeofbexr.orgYou can contact me through that site (e.g. webmaster@siegeofbexar.org) |
