I am a descendant of Robert E. Cochran (1810-1836) who defended the Alamo. I have seen several places, including this site, where he has been listed as being born in New Jersey. THIS IS INCORRECT! He was born in Pembroke, Merrimack, New Hampshire to his parents, Samuel Martin Cochran and Sallie Folsom Cochran. I hope you will correct this inaccuracy for the next person looking for information about him. Thank you! Thank YOU, Lisa for the correction! Do you ever come to San Antonio in March?

Cast of the musical, "REMEMBER", evening of February 29, at the Tobin Center in San Antonio. (Photo: Roy Richards) Very minimalist production, it had no set at all, but rather projections on a big screen behind the chorale and orchestra to set the scene. At times, the characters, all wearing tuxedos, were hard to tell one from the other and you had to sort of guess. During the second half, they each had a prop to indicate who they were. Crockett with coon cap and rifle, Bowie with a knife, Travis, a sword. Santa Anna with cocked hat and red sash, etc.. To me, it came across as more of a musical production rather than a musical play and you could've just closed your eyes and listened. Attachments:
