Dan Boyle made suggestion that name was Jehu instead of James on 27 Aug 2019. Change made on 6 Sept 2019. wb. Would like documentation showing name was Jehu. The following information received 7 Sep 2019 from Dan Boyle: Here is what I found online that indicates his name was Jehu. He is mentioned in the last paragraph. Also, note that he had a brother named James who is not mentioned in this.
