My grandfather went to live with his grandparents, Samuel and Julianne Crockett Carroll when his mother Malvina Carroll Bullock died. His story was that Davy Crockett was Julianne's half-brother and Davy was his half-uncle.
David Crockett was a well known figure long before his death at the Alamo and James Bowie had a local and regional reputation.

actually no. (that's someone else's answer). according to his relatives, DANIEL BOONE did not wear a coonskin cap. davy crockett, however, did. Sergent Felix Nunez of the Mexican Army after the Battle of the Alamo (1836), who reported seeing Davy Crockett wearing an animal skin hat with a tail, i.e., "I saw a tall American of rather dark complexion who had a long buckskin coat and a round cap without any bill made of fox-skin with it's long tail hanging down his back."

On February 23, 1836, a Mexican force numbering in the thousands and led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began a siege of the fort. The Alamo's 200 defenders–commanded by James Bowie and William Travis and including the famed frontiersman Davy Crockett, held out for 13 days before the Mexican finally overpowered them.
A long time.

The Alamo has been there since 1718.
No on in the Texas army survived the battle. Although many Mexican troop members survived. Davy Crockett was the last Texan alive at the Alamo, but was killed by Santa Anna's men. The translator that was supposed to tell Santa Anna that Davy Crockett would discuss the terms of surrender for Texas twisted Davy's words and said the Mexican troops should surrender to the Texans. Santa Anna had a short temper so he had Davy killed.
