Joseph

Joseph, the son of Alphaeus and the “2nd half-brother of the L-rd,” Mark nicknamed him Joses or Jose. The brother who would have been second in line to succeed James, very possibly had died by the time Simon took over leadership.
We simply cannot know, but what we can know, with some certainty, is that the royal family of Y’Shua, including the children and grandchildren of His brothers and sisters, were honored by the early Believers well into the 2nd century A.D. While at the same time they were watched and hunted down by the highest levels of the Roman government in Palestine.
