You mean PA 222 in Allentown or US 222 West of Allentown.

Within close proximity is Landis Valley.  Landis being the name of the family who farmed the area, I presume.  Jake was most likely a member of said family.  Why he got a road named after him I'm not sure.  I used to go to the Lancaster area quite often and I remember seeing the road on the map.
