Hello
As places are sometimes named after people who lived there I thought it might be
interesting to see the different Jakes Place names across the USA. I was able to find
these at the two GNIS sites listed below. I have included all Jakes listing. I'm sure
that some places where named after a guy with the given name Jakes as opposed to the
surname but you never can tell. You might want to look more closely at any areas listed
on here which were close to where your Jakes lived.
I have links to two sites
