Becky, Please do not limit you searching to the logical names for which "Jake" could be a nickname. My "Uncle Dick" was actually Jesse Henry TAYLOR. Now would you have ever guessed either of those names for a "Dick"?? Would you believe I have two cousins named Richard 'after' their Uncle Dick :-). Please remember to check all of the TAYLORs of the right age range to make sure, if possible, that they are not your "Jake".
