Norma, Gibson's History of York County, Pa, 1886. Sorry, only JACOBY and JACOBS. I looked for Henry, but didn't find a match for the description you provided. Lots of other Jacobs. (with the S) JACOB'S mills, four miles east of Hanover, described in the flooding of 1884. page 479 Mills. page 686. "One of the old landmarks of Paradise Township is the place known as Jacobs Mills in the upper end of the township, near the Adams County border. The land was originally taken up by a land warrant issued to George Jacobs in 1750. Soon after this date a mill was erected which has, ever since that event, been owned by a lineal descendant of the original settler. At present it is owned by Amos Jacobs, who has a wool carding-mill, grist-mill and saw-mill. they are run by water and steam. The old stone mansion near by was erected in 1780." Heidelberg Township, page 694. "... Jacobs' Mill, Iron Ridge and Menges Mills are stations on the Shortline Railroad, at each of which places there is a post office and a store..." Anything else, let me know.
