Correct Cuz Steven. The ancestor was Henry Hale Cone, originally from Connecticutt. Received a land of grant of about 500 acres for serving in the siege of Bexar the December prior to the Alamo. Siege of Bexar was the Texicans taking the Alamo from the Mexican Army. He later moved to Houston, was a surgeon there and died in the 1850's. My cone line is on another Texas Cone limb who came down to Texas from Ohio in the 1830's. Do you have any information on a Thomas Cone, pvt 21st TN Cav, who died at Camp Chase Jan. 24,1865.

You probably have this information already, but its no trouble to send it.
Re: PVT Thomas Cone, here is the Find-A-Grave memorial. It gives the date of birth, the fact that he was in Co. D of the 21st TN Cav, and the burial plot #.

You mentioned relatives settling in Houston before the Civil War. There was one in Houston before the war who served in the Texas legislature before the war and during the war was a staff officer of General Magruder's. So- you might be related to this Horace Cone.

Texas Defender we are 
He also lobbied unsuccessfully for a Houston-New Orleans railroad as a "military necessity." & took a bold stand and presented a petition to the House for a special act to allow Peter Allen, a free black barber who had fought for the Confederate Army at Shiloh, to reside in the state. Cone was defeated, and Allen was not allowed to remain free.

Glad to see there are some Alamo aficionados in the group. Next to The War of Northern Aggression, the Alamo has been and still is one of my great passions. I have been to San Antonio many times and I still get that sense of awe and reverance as I did the first time I went there.
