Today I learned that Geronimo got his name from St. Jerome
The name by which Geronimo is remembered was supposedly bestowed on him by a detachment of Mexican soldiers so stunned by the ferocity of his resistance that they repeatedly invoked the name of St. Jerome against him.
and so now there in a connection in my mind between Geronimo and Hieronymus Bosch

I think it's likely that Joe Yancey, my great-great-grandfather called him something else when he and his tribe stole more of his mules.

But no connection to them and my friend Jerronimo Martin-Dean, as far as I know.
