What do we know about Joseph called Barsabbas and Matthias?

Acts 1:23 (ESV)

23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.

Neither of these two men will be mentioned again in the book of Acts. Barsabbas means son of the Sabbath and might imply that he was born on a Saturday. Matthias means gift of God.1
