[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 191137, member: 2797"] Caustic, Several years ago I was in San Antino on business for a few days. I took an afternoon off and went to see the Alamo. I was just in awe of the history and the scarifice made at the place. While walking thru I came to the part where they listed the names of all who fought & died. While reading the list I came upon a name that made the hair on my neck stand up. The name was "James Nowlan" from England. Knowing that my forefathers came from England, this was an eyeopener. My last name is "Nowland" but I do know that often as folks came in off the ships the spelling of their names was often changed to the way it sounded by the fellows making the list of names. This may be a relative of mine, don't know for sure, but hope he was. Thanks for the reminder. [/QUOTE]
