  The Protevangelion of James)
James the son of Zebedee and brother of John is one of the twelve Apostles mentioned in Matthew 4:21, 10:2, 17:1; Mark 1:19, 3:17, 5:37, 9:2, 10:35, 14:33; Luke 5:10, 6:14, 8:51; Acts 1:13, 12:2.
He was called "James the Lesser" (the fact that the other James is called "James the Younger" has often caused these two to be confused) because he probably was converted by a post-resurrection appearance of Christ.
According to tradition, this James was executed at the prompting of the Sanhedrin, being thrown from the temple walls and then clubbed to death about A.D. The Protevangelion is supposed to have been originally composed in Hebrew.

  Saint James the Just - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint James the Just (יעקב "Holder of the heel; supplanter"; Standard Hebrew Yaʿaqov, Tiberian Hebrew Yaʿăqōḇ), also called James Adelphos or the Brother of the Lord and sometimes identified with James the Lesser, (died AD 62) was an important figure in Early Christianity.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Less
The James (5) of Jude 1:1 must certainly be identified with James (3), the brother of the Lord and the Bishop of Jerusalem.
This identification requires the identity of Mary, the mother of James (Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40), with Mary the wife of Cleophas (John 19:25), and, consequently, the identity of Alpheus (2) and Clopas (4).
James was called to the Apostolate with his brother Jude; in all the four lists of the Apostles, he stands at the head of the third group (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13).

James, the son of Alphaeus and Mary, is named in the same lists of Apostles in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and in Acts 1:13 is one of the other apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem after Christ's Ascension.

 Alice James
Henry James wrote in a letter to his brother Robertson's daughter Mary James Vaux that "in our family group girls scarcely seem to have had a chance." Alice James was the one girl in the James family group, and her life bears witness to Henry's pronouncement.
Alice James certainly recognized this, understanding her own collapses as the failure to control feelings of rage that were leveled primarily at the father who kept his daughter in the house, tied to him and removed from outside stimulation and outlets.
Since then, Alice James has become a figure in her own right, viewed not only as a representative of Victorian womanhood and of the neuroses of her famous family but also as herself.
