2. Andrew Peter/Cephas, brother of Simon. Born in Bethsaida, later was in Capernuam. He was a fisherman as well. Andrew preached in Scythis, Greece and Asia Minor. He was Crucifed on St. Andrew's cross. I haven't found where that is yet.

12. Matthias, replaced Judas (chosen by lot). A levite from Cyprus, he has pretty much been ignored by history, with most believing that he never did anything. On the contrary, he is named later in Acts as an apostle, and is responsible for helping Paul, protecting and nurturing John Mark after Pauls anger snit at him, and was surnamed in Greek "Bar Nabas", which is to say "son of exhortation". Acts incorrectly translates it as "son of consolation".  Spent several nights in jail, but it's unknown exactly how he died. We know him as Barnabas, Paul's close running buddy for a few years.

Matthias, the apostle chosen to replace  Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
