James Kehoe Baptismal Record Located
Founded by Jesuits in 1733, Old Saint Joseph's Church is the oldest Catholic community in Philadelphia. The baptismal records of the first 6 children of John Kehoe and Mary Dunn are here. For James Kehoe the entry reads: "James George Washington Kehoe, baptized May 28, 1876, son of John Kehoe and Mary Dunn, sponsors William McHenry and Elleanora Connelly, baptized by P. Duddy, S.J.".

Could it be that Francis was his confirmation name? In which case are his initials JGWFK or JFGWK?
Yes I would say that "Francis" was his confirmation name. I was also wondering if the "George Washington" was a by product of the nationalism no doubt generated by the Centennial Exhibition that was being hosted by the city of Philadelphia that year.
