Tax records also indicate that Luke Jaco was residing in Missouri in the years 1866 and 1867, but that he appeared to have returned to Doddridge after that. The last Doddridge County tax record in his name was for the year 1872, although it is not clear that he was a resident at that time, or even still living.
